Look for “live cultures,” avoid added sugar, and start slow to avoid bloating. While science is still unraveling exactly how these microbes work, the consensus is clear: variety wins. Aim for a few servings daily, pair them with fiber-rich foods, and let your gut thrive with diversity—not one magic food.
