Ancient Nutrition SBO Probiotics Gut Restore
by Ancient Nutrition
"Soil-based organism probiotics — 25 billion CFU with Bacillus strains for gut barrier repair and immune support"
Overview
Ancient Nutrition SBO Probiotics Gut Restore provides 25 billion CFU of soil-based organism (SBO) probiotics, primarily Bacillus species (B. subtilis, B. coagulans, B. clausii). SBO probiotics are fundamentally different from traditional Lactobacillus/Bifidobacterium probiotics — they're spore-forming bacteria that naturally survive stomach acid, don't require refrigeration, and colonize the gut differently. The formula also includes organic fermented botanical blend (ashwagandha, ginger, turkey tail mushroom) and organic prebiotic fiber. Founded by Dr. Josh Axe and Jordan Rubin.
