These next-gen Canadian probiotics are levelling up gut health

Probiotics and supplements might be a mainstay in your daily wellness routine, but is your body actually absorbing them? 

Living Alchemy has made a name for itself by treating age-old problems with age-old remedies. That looks like fermented probiotics, transforming the supplement you know through a process trusted by many cultures for thousands of years.

Every product is built on organic, whole-food ingredients that ferment into a form your body can actually recognize and absorb — and now it's your turn to see how they work!

The fermentation way

Living Alchemy is putting a fresh spin on probiotics by going back to an ancient practice: fermentation. Drawing inspiration from cures of the past, the brand harnesses nature's power through fermentation to create potent, effective ways to repair and nourish.

probioticsFermented ingredients help support a diverse gut microbiome, which plays an important role in digestion, immune function, and overall health. And the process is actually pretty simple.

First, they harvest non-GMO and certified organic ingredients, which are then fermented with a diverse strain Kefir-Kombucha culture through their exclusive Symbio® method. 

These fermented whole foods are then freeze-dried to remove moisture while preserving their nutrients, before being analyzed for their effects. Additional herbal ingredients (like cranberry, aloe, or artichoke) are added based on specific health concerns, and the finished blend is encapsulated without unnecessary fillers or binders. That results in a clean final product waiting for you on the shelf.

Your Flora® Probiotic Woman

Designed to support digestive and urinary tract health, Your Flora® Probiotic Woman uses a targeted formula to help maintain feminine balance and promote urinary tract wellness. Its formula combines naturally fermented non-GMO soybeans with organic roselle and cranberry fusions.

Émilia Sirois, N.D, a naturopath from Quebec who specializes in digestive health, has been using Your Flora® Probiotics in her practice to reduce gas and bloating, inflammation, and food intolerances.

"I have used probiotics for years, and I can confirm that the side effects of probiotics can sometimes be unpleasant. The bacteria are not always suitable for everyone during the time period whereas Your Flora is different — they provide prebiotics, postbiotics and probiotics to the intestinal terrain," she says.

Women's Iron Alive

Look to Living Alchemy's Women's Iron Alive to help prevent iron-deficient anemia, alleviate fatigue, and increase energy. Clinically shown to help form red blood cells and provide daily energy, the koji-fermented iron supplement is doing all the work without the common nasty side effects.

Low iron can also impact your mood and anxiety levels, and an iron supplement can provide relief.

Dr. Kevin Preston, who works in Traditional Chinese Medicine and treats chronic illnesses, along with mystery syndromes and conditions that previously haven’t been met with answers, had this to say about Living Alchemy products:

"It's beautiful to see people come alive again after feeling fatigued and down and not hopeful for their lives. And when that starts to shift and turn around, you see everything in their life start to change."

Whole-food fermented supplements

With plant-based ingredients, absorbable nutrients, and a focus on supporting healthy flora, Living Alchemy takes a more natural approach to probiotics. It's a modern take on an age-old process.

If you need something for stress support, digestive health, immunity, inflammation, or even hormonal health, Living Alchemy has a product for you.
