Probiotics

Benefits

Crafted with Intention

  • Inner Strength. Lactobacillus strains are important members of your gut microbiome. They help protect against disease and help stop pathogens from colonizing your gut.
  • Fight gut inflammation. The anti-inflammatory properties of these probiotic strains help combat gut inflammation i.e. fight bloating.
  • Keep it going. These strains help promote digestion by breaking down food in your stomach.
  • Protect against candida. Saccharomyces boulardii has been shown to inhibit populations of candida and deter them from establishing in the intestines.

Vitamin B12

Benefits

  • Energy Support*
  • Supports Brain Function*
  • Boosts Metabolism*

Crafted with Intention

  • Healthy energy levels. B12 is essential for your brain and nervous system to function normally.*
  • Strengthen your inner workings. B12 is involved in the formation of red blood cells and helps to create and regulate DNA.*

Our Difference

Nooch is the first and only nutritional yeast fortified with vitamin B12 in the naturally-occurring, bioavailable form of methylcobalamin, while other brands use cyanocobalamin, the synthetic form of this nutrient.

Vitamin D3

Benefits

  • Immune Support*
  • Supports Brain Function*
  • Bone Health*

Crafted with Intention

  • Strengthen your bones. Vitamin D helps the body absorb and retain calcium and phosphorus, which are vital for maintaining healthy bones.*
  • Boost your immunity. Vitamin D increases antimicrobial peptides, which function as a natural antibiotic, and guards against organisms that cause disease.*

Our Difference

The most common form of vegan vitamin D is vitamin D2, which is found in plants. However, vitamin D3 - typically derived from sheep's wool - has been shown to be over 80% more effective at raising serum levels than D2. In our Nooch, we use a vegan vitamin D3 that is harvested from microalgae (but don't worry, you can't taste it.)
