Get some Florastor and put a couple of capsules into juice. Wait 24-48 hours. Drink. Delicious! Very fizzy and fun. Reduced sugar.

Good for the gut and immune system. Use it when my kids have GI distress/diarrhea or just as a treat/reward.

I like it way more than Kambucha and it never has vinegar worms.

Can buy some yeast energizer too on Amazon for a great boost.

* I get the Florastor has & bloat personally b/c I figure the enzymes might help and I find it’s a little cheaper somehow, sometimes. https://www.amazon.com/Florastor-Advanced-Probiotic-Digestiv...

I like apple cider, pasteurized is fine but must be preservative free. OJ is fun, comes out as orangina like, but tastes off too quickly.

I have zero trust in products on Amazon not being a counterfeit there's no way I'd buy something intended for me to eat. On top of that, these types of health nut type of items often found under supplements are just always going to be dubious.
Huh, health nut supplements?A number of you are missing the forest but for the trees, I shared something that I think is delicious and fun for me and my kids.

I only put the Amazon links there as a courtesy for people to look it up easily. I buy mine at Walmart personally, I think we all know about Amazon and fakes.

More importantly, while probiotic interest is shared within the “health nut” sphere that doesn’t suddenly invalidate the research that’s been done on this strain of yeast nor the anecdotal experience I’ve seen personally. It works great for stool consistency and diarrhea. It might help with immune system. But who cares, it tastes GOOD. That’s my point. It’s a fun and delicious science experiment & I think a healthier juice or pop alternative.

Try it or not but you dismissal is unfair.
