Young Living offers a synergy of 9 different strains with 17 billion live active cultures in a delayed-release capsule to deliver the cultures directly to your intestines. Life 9 is designed to give you the greatest possible benefits. It has nine strains to give you the full spectrum support, but what is interesting is that the best time to take it is night before bed or a few hours after dinner on an empty stomach. You should take this without any other supplement. Once you swallow it, it goes to work. All those beautiful healthy bacteria helping support your beautiful gut! It is said that 85% of all our issues stem from the gut. 

You may take these every day or at least three to four times a week. This may also be used as a way to rapidly support your gut when you're feeling a dip in your immune system by consuming 5-6 at once right before bed. This is only to be done as needed and no more than once a month. Life 9 will help to regulate your bowel movements. If you take too many for too long you may experience diarrhea. When you're having one bowel movement per full meal per day that is the right consistency, not too soft and not too hard, this means your gut is working correctly. There are no essential oils in Life 9.

The bacteria in your body are said to outnumber your body’s cells at a 10-to-1 ratio. However, a recent study says that the ratio is closer to 1-to-1.

According to these estimates, you have 39–300 trillion bacteria living inside you. Whichever estimate is most accurate, it’s certainly a large number.

Much of these bacteria reside in your gut, and the majority are quite harmless. Some are helpful, and a small number can cause disease.

Having the right gut bacteria has been linked to numerous health benefits, including the following:

Probiotics, which are a certain type of friendly bacteria, provide health benefits when eaten.

They’re often taken as supplements that are supposed to help colonize your gut with good microorganisms.

Probiotics are the healthy or good bacteria in your gut. When you are sick, it usually means there is more bad bacteria than good bacteria.

How can you get probiotics?

→ Easily… with a daily probiotic supplement, like Life 9.

→ You can also eat fermented foods like miso, tempeh, kimchi, sauerkraut, and Kefir.

→ What about yogurt? Isn’t that a good source of probiotics??? Not necessarily. It's a marketing ploy. Some brands add a small amount of Lactobacillus acidophilus just so they can say so on the label. Plus, most of the yogurt you buy in the store is pasteurized to increase the shelf life, but pasteurization destroys all the benefits of the yogurt. If you do choose yogurt in the store, make sure the label says “live, active cultures.” And of course you want to choose dairy products that have not been produced with antibiotics or hormones. Oh, and you need to find a yogurt without added sugar - most yogurts are fulllllll of sugar! So see how it might be wayyyyyy easier to just take a daily Life 9?!?

(Another option would be Kidscents Mighty Pro, which contains broad-spectrum probiotics along with prebiotics and is great for kids and adults!) 

Life 9 doesn’t contain any essential oils so we will look at the ingredients it does contain and what each ingredient does.

Let’s recap what we’ve learned so far: Probiotics are essential to our bodies. They are the good bacteria found in our guts and support overall gut health and well being. Life 9 is a high potency probiotic that builds and restores intestinal health. Probiotics are important because of their positive effect on the gut and bowels. Many people do not realize that the gut is the source of health and vitality and where nutrients are absorbed in the bloodstream. It is also the command center of the immune system and eliminators of the waste products. If the gut and bowels are not working properly, optimal health is Impossible and the body is vulnerable to myriad conditions.

For the bowels to work properly, probiotics are necessary for every intestine function to prevent the proliferation of harmful bacteria.

We encounter too many things that can increase the need for probiotic supplementation such as taking drugs and antibiotics, drinking chlorinated water, consuming sugar, eating a low fiber diet, and undergoing stress.

Life 9 is a proprietary, high potency combination of 9 probiotic strains that support intestinal health and healthy immune function.

Encapsulated in advanced, delayed-release capsules with a dual sorbent desiccant in a special bottle with a cap to ensure product FSC, Life 9’s 15 billion beneficial cultures per serving bypass the stomach, which improves overall product efficacy.

Probiotics have been shown to assist the body in manufacturing B vitamins, improving nutrient absorption, supporting immune function, improving digestion, and reducing yeast growth. Life 9 may be taken by healthy children and adults to help maintain optimal well-being. Research indicates that those concerned about proper digestion will benefit from taking life 9.

This product may be very helpful and taken intensively during or after illness to boost immunity and support recovery. It is especially important after taking antibiotics or suffering any gastrointestinal distress.
