The power of probiotics

As scientists uncover the power of probiotics, more incredible benefits are being discovered every day. Beneficial microbes are being studied worldwide, revealing a wide range of applications across industries such as soil health, animal husbandry, recycling, environmental protection, and sustainability.

For too long, chemical biocides, fertilizers, and antibiotics have been used to address bacterial and other issues. However, overuse of these products contributes to antibiotic resistance and various health problems—not only in humans and animals but also in soil and the broader environment. Microbial diversity is key to maintaining a healthy environment in all these areas.

While antibiotics and chemical biocides have their place, their overuse can lead to problems. The soil, household environments, humans, and animals can all lose the natural microbial diversity essential to their biology.

Chemical biocides kill all microbes—both good and bad—leaving a void. Studies show that harmful bacteria often fill this void more rapidly and effectively than beneficial bacteria.

Using a blend of beneficial microbes that coexist and promote a healthy environment—one that can outcompete harmful bacteria—is the best approach to maintaining wellbeing and environmental balance. Moving forward, this should be the first choice for achieving lasting, healthy outcomes.
