But with so many probiotic <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/what-vitamins-and-supplements-should-i-take\/\">supplements<\/a> out there, how do you know which probiotic is right for you? Keep reading to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/the-guide-to-choosing-the-best-probiotic-for-you\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"\">learn more about probiotics<\/a> and details on HUM&#8217;s different formulations.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-are-probiotics\">What are Probiotics?<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Before diving straight into the different types of probiotics HUM offers, let\u2019s first better understand probiotics and why they\u2019re important.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Probiotics are the live bacteria and yeasts that live in your body and keep your gut healthy. These friendly bacteria patrol your intestines and keep your digestive system running smoothly by helping digest food, destroy harmful pathogens, and produce vitamins.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-benefits-of-taking-probiotics\">Benefits of Taking Probiotics<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Probiotics are especially helpful <a href=\"https:\/\/www.livescience.com\/3092-human-gut-loaded-bacteria-thought.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">following a round of antibiotics<\/a>, as these drugs kill both infectious <em>and<\/em> healthy bacteria. When healthy bacteria are killed off, harmful bacteria flourish. This proliferation can lead to indigestion, breakouts, and\/or imbalances in the vaginal microbiome.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>While more research is necessary to fully understand the benefits of types of bacteria, we do know that different probiotic strains support your body in different ways. For instance, certain strains can support brain health and reduce stress, while others help reduce acne and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/anti-inflammatory-lifestyle\/\">inflammation<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>For this reason, HUM offers four probiotic supplements. Gut Instinct, Skin Squad, Private Party, and Fan Club all address different wellness and beauty concerns with their unique probiotic combinations.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-which-hum-probiotic-should-i-take\">Which HUM Probiotic Should I Take?<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Your choice of probiotic will depend on your wellness goals. To start, here&#8217;s a simple breakdown of the primary distinguishers between HUM probiotics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/product\/6\/gut-instinct\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Gut Instinct<\/a> supports your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/how-the-immune-system-works\/\">immune system<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/how-digestion-works\/\">digestion<\/a> with 10 strains of probiotics and 25 billion organisms in each capsule.<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/product\/48\/skin-squad-pre-probiotic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Skin Squad<\/a>\u00a0combines 40 billion organisms from nine different strains, all specifically chosen to support skin health.<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/product\/54\/private-party-vaginal-probiotic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Private Party<\/a> packs three probiotic strains to support a healthy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/vaginal-ph-balance\/\">vaginal pH<\/a> and cranberry PAC&#8217;s for urinary tract health.<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/product\/75\/fan-club\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Fan Club<\/a> is an estrogen-free, clinically-studied probiotic formula that addresses 11 symptoms of perimenopause and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/natural-relief-from-menopause-symptoms\/\">menopause<\/a>.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-all-about-hum-probiotics\">All About HUM Probiotics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img data-dominant-color=\"74ac3c\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #74ac3c;\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Gut-Instinct-Probiotic-The-Wellnest-by-HUM-Nutrition.jpg\" alt=\"Woman's hand holding HUM Gut Instinct probiotic supplement in front of green background\" class=\"wp-image-18073 not-transparent\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-gut-instinct\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/product\/6\/gut-instinct\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">GUT INSTINCT<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n<p>HUM&#8217;s first probiotic supports the comprehensive health of your body and digestion with 10 strains of probiotics and 25 billion organisms in each capsule.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Since your digestive tract is home to trillions of microorganisms, it\u2019s important to maintain a proper balance to ensure your system works properly. Among many other things, the bacteria living in your intestinal tract help digest food, produce vitamins, regulate hormones, and excrete toxins to keep your gut healthy. Your immunity, stress response, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/mighty-night\/\">sleep<\/a>, mood, behavior, metabolism, weight, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/hormone-health-alisa-vitti\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"\">hormones<\/a>, and skin health all depend on the health of your gut.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>The live-strain probiotics we use in Gut Instinct are clinically researched to support digestion and improve overall health. For instance, <a href=\"https:\/\/medlineplus.gov\/druginfo\/natural\/891.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">bifidobacterium longum<\/a> helps stabilize the acidity of the GI tract and inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria. It&#8217;s also one of the species researched for its ability to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/science\/2015\/oct\/18\/probiotic-bacteria-bifidobacterium-longum-1714-anxiety-memory-study\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">decrease stress levels and improve memory<\/a>.

It has 40 billion colony forming units (CFU&#8217;s) of nine probiotic strains for a truly potent skincare product that works from the inside out.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>This unique formula combines nine of the best clinically researched probiotic strains to fight breakouts and improve overall skin health. HUM uses two types of bacterial strains in Skin Squad: soil-based and live-strain.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Soil-based (or spore-forming organisms) withstand environmental changes, meaning they maintain their potency and are more shelf-stable. Our spore-forming strains include <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/19332969\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bacillus coagulans, SNZ 1969<\/a>, which enhances immunity and digestion. We also include <a href=\"https:\/\/www.omicsonline.org\/open-access\/the-effect-of-bacillus-subtilis-de111-on-the-daily-bowel-movement-profile-for-people-with-occasional-gastrointestinal-irregularity-2329-8901-1000189-95262.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bacillus subtilis, DE111\u00ae<\/a>, which helps our bodies digest <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/foods-to-avoid-for-clear-skin\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"\">problematic foods<\/a>, supports gut lining, and improves regularity.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>The live-strain probiotics we use in Skin Squad are clinically researched to support skin health. One skin-specific strain includes <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/30882084\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">lactobacillus acidophilus, La-14<\/a> which can boost immunity and minimize inflammation.

You can think of prebiotics as fuel for your probiotics. In this case, konjac root not only feeds the probiotics, but also increases good gut bacteria while decreasing bad bacteria on its own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img data-dominant-color=\"8b5d69\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #8b5d69;\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Private-Party-Vaginal-Probiotic-The-Wellnest-by-HUM-Nutrition-1.jpg\" alt=\"Woman's hand holding HUM Private Party vaginal probiotic supplement in front of her purple skirt\" class=\"wp-image-18074 not-transparent\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-private-party\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/product\/54\/private-party-vaginal-probiotic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">PRIVATE PARTY<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n<p>This one is for all the ladies out there!

Its unique formula includes three probiotic strains and cranberry proanthocyanidins (PAC\u2019s) standardized to clinically proven amounts.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>HUM created Private Party to positively impact the vaginal microbiome and get ahead of vaginal discomfort. When your vaginal health is off balance, unwanted physical symptoms can occur. These include itching, burning, swelling, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/what-causes-vaginal-odor\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"\">changes in vaginal odor<\/a>, and pain urinating and\/or during intercourse.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Private Party addresses the root causes by supporting the microbiome and pH levels of the vagina.

Additionally, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/17492798\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">studies show<\/a> that PAC&#8217;s\u2014potent antioxidants found in cranberries\u2014support a healthy urinary tract.
