Are you looking for the best vegan probiotics? We can help with that.
Some of our long-time customers enjoy our variety of vegan supplements, knowing they fit in with their lifestyle choices and health preferences. Whether you follow a strict vegan lifestyle, or are simply trying to minimize your dairy intake, Natren precision vegan probiotics can support your health.
Figuring out which supplements are the best vegan probiotics truly starts with an understanding of the way that probiotics support digestion, health, and even help with aging.
But not all probiotics do what they claim… in fact most of them prioritize their bottom line over your health. We’re making our recommendations based on probiotics not only being vegan, but being of the highest quality.
Why Probiotics are Important
Before we cover our picks of the best vegan probiotics, we’ll show you why probiotics are so important. The right probiotics give you a way to deliver healthy bacteria to the parts of your body that can most use them. Healthy bacteria serve many important functions including:
- Optimize digestion of carbohydrates and protein
- Strengthening the foundation of the immune system
- Support a slightly acidic environment that is preferable for good digestion
- Promote the health of the small intestines
- Contributing to clear, youthful skin
You can get some healthy bacteria from food. However, only a high quality probiotic can deliver the best strains of bacteria, every day, to keep your digestive system supported. Here are our picks for the best probiotics for vegans.
BIFIDO FACTOR
Bifido Factor is Natren’s leading probiotic for supporting the large intestine. Since the majority of the bacteria in your body reside within your large intestine, this is an essential organ when it comes to probiotics. Your large intestine is responsible for absorbing water and electrolytes, as well as removing waste products from your digested food. Bifido Factor is able to help keep your colon, an important part of your large intestine, optimized. If your colon is not functioning as well as possible, you may have diarrhea or constipation. Natren’s probiotics are able to help support healthy digestion and regularity, and Bifido Factor is an especially important part of this value. With its ability to promote a clean and optimized colon, Bifido Factor is one of the top choices of our vegan customers.
MEGADOPHILUS
Megadophilus is actually the first genuine probiotic, and the one that made ‘probiotic’ a well-known word for health-conscious consumers. Although today there are unfortunately hundreds of probiotic manufacturers that have prioritized their profits over quality or health of their customers, Natren stands by its original set of values and integrity. Natasha Trenev, Natren’s founder, is committed to precision probiotics which are made in small batches, backed by smart science, and of the highest quality. Megadophilus is one of our most popular probiotics. Each serving of Megadophilus has at least 2 billion cfus of Lactobacillus acidophilus, NAS super strain in dairy free and vegan cultures. Megadophilus can provide support for your overall wellness, optimized digestion, and health of the small intestines.
DIGESTA-LAC
If you’re looking for a probiotic that can optimize the digestion of carbohydrates and protein, then Natren’s Digesta-Lac is the right choice. Even if you don’t “feel like” your digestion is off, your body may not be processing your food as well as it could. When your digestion is optimized, you have the ability to maximize the benefits of the healthy foods you’re choosing. Digesta-Lac, which is available in vegan form, supports the growth of essential healthy bacteria called L. acidophilus and B. bifidum.
The 3 vegan probiotics we’ve covered so far are great for people who are looking for individual strains that can optimize their digestive health. However, the majority of our customers want a variety of good bacteria. When you’re looking for the best vegan probiotic that also provides variety, here are our recommendations:
HEALTHY START SYSTEM
Natren’s Healthy Start System is one of the easiest ways to personalize a probiotic routine for each member of your family. This system comes with one bottle of Megadophilus, one bottle of Bifido Factor, and one bottle of Digesta-Lac. This means you can try all 3 at once, or take more of one and less of others. An important component of taking the best vegan probiotics is listening to your body. While we can give recommendations based on our expertise, only you can tell exactly what your body responds best to. Our Healthy Start System makes it easy to experiment so you can find your best probiotic routine.
LIFE START
For vegans who are pregnant, there are specific nutritional needs they focus on. Getting enough nutrients is essential, and while some people think that staying vegan may be unsafe, many vegans are able to maintain their diet through healthy pregnancies. In addition to looking out for your own health, you want to make sure your growing baby is getting all the advantages they can. That’s where Natren’s Life Start comes in. Perfect for vegan moms, Life Start can be taken while you’re pregnant and through breastfeeding.
In addition, you can then give Life Start to your infant and toddler to further support their health. A strong community of gut bacteria is important for babies from the day they are born. Babies born vaginally get a dose of this important bacteria, as do babies who are breastfed. While all babies can benefit from Natren’s Life Start, it’s even more important to ensure babies born via c-section, and those who are formula fed, get the good bacteria they are missing. Our Life Start supplements are free from soy, gluten, GMOs, and other additives that you don’t want.
When you are vegan, it can be difficult to find products that are appropriate for your dietary choices. While many consumers do not think about supplements having animal-derived products, vegans know it can be difficult to find the quality supplements they want, in vegan form. At Natren we are happy to offer all our customer favorites in vegan form. Learn more at natren.com.
