Non-GMO Probiotics
Keep your digestive and immune systems functioning smoothly with non-GMO probiotics from the CVS store. Our range of nongenetically modified supplements helps you avoid artificial additives for a purer way to support your well-being.
What Are Genetically Modified Probiotics?
The benefits of probiotics come from strains of good bacteria that are known to support your digestive system and prevent bloating or diarrhea when taken regularly. These bacteria vary in their effects and ability to survive the harsh environment of your stomach. Genetic modification aims to enhance certain traits, such as the bacteria's effectiveness, survivability and longevity within the digestive tract. It can be achieved by modifying existing genes or introducing beneficial genes from other strains into a target species.
As the technology used to bioengineer food is still relatively new, you may prefer to avoid products containing genetically modified organisms. Non-GMO probiotic supplements, such as Culturelle Probiotic + Prebiotic gummies or Garden of Life Dr. Formulated Critical Care, make it easy to maintain your digestive wellness while avoiding bioengineered ingredients.
Are Non-GMO Probiotics Safe to Take?
Non-GMO probiotics are suitable for most people. If you eat fermented foods regularly, you likely already consume strains of friendly bacteria similar to those you may find in supplements. If you don't experience any discomfort from eating miso, salami, kimchi, yogurt and similar products, a probiotic is likely to be an ideal way to support your well-being.
Some people react to fermented foods or probiotics; if this is the case with you, consider trying a different digestive health supplement, such as fiber, instead. Ask your doctor if you're unsure whether a probiotic may be right for you.
What Are the Side Effects of Non-GMO Probiotics?
Non-GMO probiotics, such as Garden of Life's Women's Daily Care or Men's Daily Care formulas, usually cause few side effects, making them a gentle way to help prevent occasional bloating and maintain a more comfortable digestive system. In the rare circumstance that you experience side effects, such as constipation, excess gas or allergies, changing to a different probiotic may let you enjoy the benefits without these side effects. You might also consider taking a prebiotic, such as Hydralyte orange prebiotic solution, to support your microbiome instead.
