Smidge® Sensitive Probiotic (formerly GutPro® powder)

Introducing our pure, potent Sensitive Probiotic powder, with the same GutPro® formula you know and love.

This probiotic was born when folks with extremely sensitive digestive systems can't tolerate certain strains and irritating ingredients in many mainstream probiotics.

Premium, 100% probiotic powder with 8 clinically-proven strains of beneficial bacteria.

And, our probiotic for sensitive stomachs is made for your comfort. We carefully calibrate the probiotic strains to ease digestion, promote regularity and minimize potential side effects.* That means omitting certain strains found in commercial brands that can cause histamine intolerance, acidosis and other reactions.

You also won't find common allergens, additives or fillers. Just clean probiotics designed to work hard on your gut health, all while treating your tummy with kid gloves.*

Comes with a dosage spoon, which allows you to measure the amount that's right for you and your family.

20 grams (1,000 servings), 3 billion CFUs per serving

 

What are probiotic?

Probiotics are bacteria that line your digestive tract and support your body's ability to:

  • Help digest foods.*
  • Produce your own vitamins (like folate, B12, thiamine, riboflavin, and vitamin K).*
  • Assimilate nutrients.*
  • Maintain a healthy immune system.*

They've been in our systems since natural birth. These bacteria (microorganisms) are collectively called our microbiome.

The right blend of beneficial bacteria — in probiotic-rich foods and easy-to-assimilate supplements — is the life force inside you. And your gut flora is responsible for how you respond to almost everything you encounter on your health journey.

If you don't have enough good bacteria, things can get out of balance, causing pathogens to thrive and upping the risk of Leaky Gut Syndrome. This can cause a variety of issues, including:

  • Food intolerance and allergies
  • Stomach and bowel problems (both upper and lower gastrointestinal disturbance) like Celiac, Crohn’s, GERD, irritable bowel syndrome, ulcerative colitis, etc.
  • Nutrient deficiencies
  • Chronic fatigue
  • Acute inflammation
  • Thyroid disorders
  • Autoimmune conditions

And even skin conditions For these reasons, many supplement with probiotics to complement a bountiful, whole food diet.

 

What strains and ingredients did you leave out of the formula for people with sensitivities? 

We've had customers who've tried a dozen – sometimes as many as 20 – different probiotic formulas.* And after years of frustration and despair, they've told us that this formula is the one that finally worked for them. Here's why:

  • No histamine-producing strains (Our Sensitive Probiotic contains only histamine-neutral or histamine-degrading strains of probiotic bacteria).
  • No strains known to contribute to D-lactate acidosis.
  • No streptococcus thermophilus or other strains linked to adverse reactions.
  • No spore-forming strains of probiotics (e.g., soil bacteria).
  • No inulin, maltodextrin or other prebiotics that can feed pathogens.
  • No excipients and other added ingredients, i.e., magnesium stearate, silica, titanium dioxide.
  • No common allergens: All strains are grown on a dairy-free, soy-free, vegetarian, non-GMO culture. Does not contain milk/casein, eggs, fish, shellfish, wheat/gluten, peanuts, tree nuts, yeast, corn or soy.

 

Why does it cost over $100?

Smidge® Sensitive Probiotic powder does not contain a prebiotic or any other fillers. Most commercial probiotics are up to 80% prebiotics. This is notable because adding prebiotics reduces the potency of a probiotic supplement and therefore, reduces the cost per bottle.*

However, the cost per serving of Smidge® Sensitive Probiotic powder is actually cheaper than "premium" probiotics containing prebiotics, as one bottle of our powder contains more CFUs (colony-forming units) than eight bottles of the average commercial powders. In addition, the probiotic strains in this pure powder formula are scientifically proven and specifically formulated to support digestion and to minimize negative reactions.*

 

Can you ship Smidge®Sensitive Probiotic powder in hot temperatures?

Yes! Smidge® Infant Probiotic (and all of our probiotics!) can be shipped when it's hot outside. Smidge® probiotics are freeze-dried, so they hold up well to warm temperatures.

Alternately, please pick up this probiotic at our pharmacy at 1265 West Broadway Vancouver BC. Please give us a call prior to your visit and we will set it aside for you.
