Probiotics and Digestive Wellness

Probiotics are live bacterial strains that, when consumed in sufficient amounts, are studied for their potential contribution to a balanced gut microbiome. Not all strains are the same — different bacteria play different roles.

SodaTide and Strain-Specific Research

SodaTide's probiotic blend includes three named strains: Bifidobacterium infantis, Clostridium butyricum, and Akkermansia muciniphila. Each has its own body of research rather than being part of a generic, unnamed "probiotic complex."

Why SodaTide Pairs Probiotics With Prebiotics

Probiotic bacteria need fuel to survive and multiply. Pairing probiotic strains with prebiotic fiber and resistant starch — as SodaTide does — gives the bacteria a food source in the same formula, an approach sometimes called a "synbiotic."
