Smidge™
The name 'Smidge' means 'a small amount', which they want to point out that they always produce their products in small batches to be able to guarantee the quality extra well. This makes the products suitable for the most sensitive users and the highest possible result is achieved.
In creating their unique product line, the work of Dr. Weston A. Price and Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride is a major source of inspiration. At Smidge™, they have worked together for years on their mission to provide products with essential nutrients that can support the digestive system and help maximize the absorption of nutrient-rich foods.
Smidge™ Sensitive Probiotics
The Smidge™ Sensitive Probiotic line from Smidge™ consists of a number of concentrated, pure probiotic products that contain a special blend of well-tolerated, neutral bacteria. The careful composition of these Smidge™ products makes the probiotics particularly suitable for people who eat according to diets such as Paleo, GAPS, Body Ecology, SIBO and ketogenic or who do not eat gluten, dairy or soy. The formulas do not contain bacterial strains that are known to contribute to D-lactate acidosis, are GMO-free and are free from common allergens such as peanuts and nuts, milk, yeast, corn, gluten, eggs, soy, shellfish and fish.
Composed with care
Smidge™ places great value on quality. For example, the products are carefully composed in small, easily controllable batches and no unnecessary ingredients are added. This makes the products of high quality, widely applicable and suitable for everyone, including those who are hypersensitive or have allergies. The products are composed based on the latest insights and contain specific, neutral bacterial strains that are well tolerated by almost everyone. People who follow diets such as the GAPS diet or Paleo diet can also take Smidge™ products with confidence.
About the intestinal flora
The intestinal flora, also called the microbiome, is an extremely important ecosystem in our body. Did you know that our intestinal system is very personal and as unique as our fingerprint? Essential substances are produced there, such as vitamins and neurotransmitters. The microbiome also plays a key role in the digestion of food and the subsequent absorption of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients. For these processes, the body works together with the intestinal bacteria present. The body acts as a host for these microbes, as it were. The intestinal bacteria can be divided into different bacteria and fungi, desirable and less desirable species and passing species or permanent residents. As with all life, it is also about balance here.
How do bacteria work together?
Knowledge about our intestinal flora is developing rapidly. We actually know very little about this complex system and our current knowledge is only the tip of the iceberg, but almost all experts agree that it is worth investigating our intestinal flora in more detail. Did you know, for example, that bacteria communicate with each other in a special way? Everywhere in the body, including the intestines, bacteria are constantly talking to each other via a mechanism called 'Quorum Sensing' and they coordinate their behaviour with each other via substances that they secrete, namely signal molecules. They can, among other things, know whether there are many of their own kind in their vicinity or not and cooperate with them in an ingenious way. Thanks to their special communication system, bacteria can sense whether they are alone or with more and this enables them to cooperate in ways that we are only now slowly beginning to understand.
