Product Description

Introducing our pure, potent Sensitive Probiotic powder, with the same GutPro® formula you know and love.

This probiotic was born when folks with extremely sensitive digestive systems told us they couldn’t tolerate certain strains and irritating ingredients in the commercial products on the market.

We were compelled to provide precisely what they needed:

Premium, 100% probiotic powder with eight clinically-proven strains of beneficial bacteria.

And nothing else.

Comes with a dosage spoon, which allows you to measure the amount that's right for you and your family.

Dosage Directions

Always start with a smidge! Use one Smidge® spoonful (20 mg). Take once a day, with food, or as directed by a certified healthcare practitioner. (See "low and slow" note below.)

Product comes with a dosage spoon.

Start low and slow: Our supplements are premium, pure and potent. Therefore, it's critically important to start slowly, with a lower dosage than recommended. For example, a minimal dose every other day, or even once a week, until you can determine how the supplement affects your body and what feels right for you.

How to take: Use your dosage spoon to accurately measure your desired dose of probiotic powder. Sprinkle on lukewarm or cold food, mix it in a smoothie or take it with an organic fat, like butter, ghee, emu oil or coconut oil. See dosage instructions above for more info.

Storage

Our Sensitive Probiotic powder requires refrigeration for long-term storage. Keep away from moisture. Can be kept at room temperature for up to two weeks while traveling.

You also won't find common allergens, additives or fillers. Just clean probiotics designed to work hard on your gut health, all while treating your tummy with kid gloves.*

What does Smidge® Sensitive Probiotic powder do?

Many of our customers have tried up to 20 brands of commercial probiotics with frustrating and even painful results.* Then they land on the soft pillow that is Smidge® Sensitive Probiotic powder. <3

Our small-batch blend contains eight clinically-proven strains of probiotics for gut health (seven human strains and one plant-based strain):

  • L. gasseri
  • L. salivarius
  • B. bifidum
  • B. breve
  • B. infantis
  • B. longum
  • B. lactis
  • L. plantarum, the plant strain

Research shows the strains in this blend can help kick start the digestive system, maximize the absorption of nutrients from your yummy real food diet, and ultimately, support the entire immune system.*

Is this pure probiotic right for you and your family?

Because this formula contains only pure probiotics for sensitive stomachs, it's ideal for people who are taking the first steps in their health journeys or digging into dietary protocols, such as:

  • GAPS, SIBO, Body Ecology
  • Autism/PDD-NOS, PANDAS/PANS
  • Paleo, AIP, Ketogenic
  • Gluten-free, soy-free and casein-free

(Please note that while this probiotic may be suitable for people on these diets, we do not claim it cures the health conditions that prompt the diets.)

Athletes, biohackers and real foodies also use our Sensitive Probiotic powder as anintegral part of their regimens; they love its potency and purity.

We've even heard from shiny, happy people who take it as part of their beauty routines, for glowing skin and hair.*

How the strains in this formula support comfy, healthy digestion

Below are some of the studied health benefits of the eight strains in our formula (more info and sources in our ingredients section).

First, they seem to play a role in comfy, healthy digestion.* The biggies are:

  • Minimizing gas, bloating and abdominal discomfort.*
  • Helping to digest challenging foods and assimilate nutrients.*
  • Establishing a healthy gut microbiome.*
  • Supporting the microvilli in the production and synthesis of vitamins, especially B vitamins that include folate, biotin, thiamine, nicotinic acid, pyridoxine, riboflavin and B12.*
  • Rebalancing the gut when pathogens are causing issues, such as C. diff (C. difficile) or SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth).*
  • And maintaining regularity (sans constipation or occasional diarrhea).* So you can go every single day with ease.*

More probiotic health benefits

When the gut is healthy, overall health benefits can follow! The
strains in Smidge® Sensitive Probiotic also may:

  • Keep the immune system strong*
  • Keep inflammation in check*
  • Support a peppy mood and sharp brain*
  • Promote smooth, healthy skin*
  • Ease histamine intolerance and oxalate sensitivity*
  • And they may even support dental and oral health*

What is in Smidge® Sensitive Probiotic Powder?

Health experts love Smidge® Sensitive Probiotic Powder

On his recommended probiotic: One of the main probiotic supplements I have had success recommending is [Smidge® Sensitive Probiotic]. The strains do not produce histamine and most of the strains in the probiotic do not produce large amounts of D-lactate. It is safe for most people that have those issues to take and gain the digestive benefits of taking a great probiotic supplement.

If you are going to take a probiotic supplement, then you need to take one that can be trusted and has the right strains needed to help your digestive health recover. That is why I recommend [Smidge® Sensitive Probiotic]  and have recommended it to some clients that I have coached with great results.

As a practitioner I have tried many probiotic supplements with my clients over the years but was always concerned about additives and fillers as well as the streptococcus and acidophilus strains which never seemed to agree with my more sensitive ASD/GAPS clients. So imagine my delight when I first came across [Smidge® Sensitive Probiotic] and my wish had come true – clean,  d-lactate free, no unnecessary strains, no fillers and a concentrated formula which can be used by the whole family and is the most cost effective probiotic I've been able to find. Many happy clients later I can highly recommend it!

We use [Smidge® Sensitive Probiotic] as our multi-strain probiotic of choice for the majority of our clients. With extensive clinical evidence we've found it to be gentle upon entry for building the beneficial flora in the gut as well as conducive to therapeutic titration. Bottom line is it works! Even for those with the most sensitive or compromised systems. And personally, it's my favorite probiotic to support both my own and my family's health.

[Smidge® Sensitive Probiotic] has been a pivotal part of my daughter's healing. When we transitioned her onto the GAPS (Gut and Psychology Syndrome) diet at 18 months old, we not only needed a probiotic that was GAPS legal, but one that would work for her chronically ill and extremely sensitive immune system.

With severe allergies to corn, dairy, soy and wheat, she needed a probiotic that was free of even the smallest trace amounts. She also required a gentle probiotic that would begin to balance her body bacteria, without containing some of the more aggressive strains that were just too hard on her body. It took perseverance and time, but [Smidge® Sensitive Probiotic] was our answer.

When asked, [Smidge® Sensitive Probiotic] is now my go-to recommendation to get any child started on a quality, multiple strain probiotic, especially those with super sensitive immune system disease.

On nourishing probiotics: This company goes above and beyond in their research and formulations. The most common strains found in most probiotics are actually an irritant for people and contain improper ratios of strains leading to more problems. The creators of these probiotics have calibrated the amount of each strain to maximize the health benefits and minimize problems.

If you are looking for a very pure probiotic that will not give you negative side effects, these are the ones I recommend to my clients.

  1. [Smidge® Sensitive Probiotic]

  2. [Smidge® Infant Probiotic]

  3. [Smidge® Probiotic]

Sometimes, what gets left out of a product is just as exciting as what goes in. For those of you avoiding dairy, corn, soy, maltodextrin and other ingredients, this custom blend probiotic has an "Other Ingredient" list I think you'll be very interested in.

Zip. Zilch. Nada.

We are talking zero corn, dairy, soy, gluten, maltodextrin, cellulose, inulin, magnesium stearate, or other flow agents/fillers. What it does have, however, is a custom probiotic formulated after gathering extensive research from communities with a vested interest in improving gut health.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are probiotics?

Probiotics are bacteria that line your digestive tract and support your body's ability to:

  • Help digest foods.*
  • Produce your own vitamins (like folate, B12, thiamine, riboflavin, and vitamin K).*
  • Assimilate nutrients.*
  • Maintain a healthy immune system.*

They've been in our systems since natural birth. These bacteria (microorganisms) are collectively called our microbiome.

The right blend of beneficial bacteria — in probiotic-rich foods and easy-to-assimilate supplements — is the life force inside you. And your gut flora is responsible for how you respond to almost everything you encounter on your health journey.

If you don't have enough good bacteria, things can get out of balance, causing pathogens to thrive and upping the risk of Leaky Gut Syndrome. This can cause a variety of issues, including:

  • Food intolerance and allergies
  • Stomach and bowel problems (both upper and lower gastrointestinal disturbance) like Celiac, Crohn’s, GERD, irritable bowel syndrome, ulcerative colitis, etc.
  • Nutrient deficiencies
  • Chronic fatigue
  • Acute inflammation
  • Thyroid disorders
  • Autoimmune conditions

And even skin conditions For these reasons, many supplement with probiotics to complement a bountiful, whole food diet.

Is this Sensitive Probiotic free of common allergens?

Our Probiotic powder Is free of common allergens. All strains are grown on a dairy-free, soy-free, vegetarian, non-GMO culture. It does not contain milk/casein, eggs, fish, shellfish, wheat/gluten, peanuts, tree nuts, yeast, corn or soy. 

What strains and ingredients did you leave out of the formula for people with sensitivities? 

We've had customers who've tried a dozen – sometimes as many as 20 – different probiotic formulas.* And after years of frustration and despair, they've told us that this formula is the one that finally worked for them. Here's why:

  • No histamine-producing strains (Our Sensitive Probiotic contains only histamine-neutral or histamine-degrading strains of probiotic bacteria).
  • No strains known to contribute to D-lactate acidosis.
  • No streptococcus thermophilus or other strains linked to adverse reactions.
  • No spore-forming strains of probiotics (e.g., soil bacteria).
  • No inulin, maltodextrin or other prebiotics that can feed pathogens.
  • No excipients and other added ingredients, i.e., magnesium stearate, silica, titanium dioxide.
  • No common allergens: All strains are grown on a dairy-free, soy-free, vegetarian, non-GMO culture. Does not contain milk/casein, eggs, fish, shellfish, wheat/gluten, peanuts, tree nuts, yeast, corn or soy.

Is the bacteria freeze-dried or live? 

It's also important to note that Smidge® probiotics are comprised of freeze-dried bacteria. The freeze-dried bacteria are reactivated upon ingestion. Old-school probiotics contained live cultures that died in transit due to warm temperatures. Freeze-dried bacteria can withstand warmer temperatures during transit. 

Why does it cost $100?

Smidge® Sensitive Probiotic powder does not contain a prebiotic or any other fillers. Most commercial probiotics are up to 80% prebiotics. This is notable because adding prebiotics reduces the potency of a probiotic supplement and therefore, reduces the cost per bottle.*

However, the cost per serving of Smidge® Sensitive Probiotic powder is actually cheaper than "premium" probiotics containing prebiotics, as one bottle of our powder contains more CFUs (colony-forming units) than eight bottles of the average commercial powders. In addition, the probiotic strains in this pure powder formula are scientifically proven and specifically formulated to support digestion and to minimize negative reactions.*

Can you ship Smidge® Sensitive Probiotic powder in hot temperatures? 

Yes! Smidge® Sensitive Probiotic powder (and all of our probiotics) can be shipped when it's hot outside. Because it requires refrigeration, we only ship orders Monday through Wednesday using two-day premium shipping services including tracking. We also have an overnight shipping option.

Smidge® probiotics are freeze-dried, so they hold up well to warm temperatures.

What kind of diet should I eat while on Smidge® Sensitive Probiotic powder?

Smidge® Probiotic powder works best with a wholesome, real food diet. Think healthy fats, wild-caught fish, grass-fed meat, organic fruits and vegetables, and the elimination of pesticides, GMOs, additives, preservatives, chemicals and processed sugar/flour. 

What is the best time and way to take my Sensitive Probiotic powder?

We recommend taking your probiotic with a meal (around the same time daily). It's beneficial if the meal contains some natural, organic fat or oil. 

Taking your probiotic with real food provides a buffering system for the supplement and ensures its safe passage through the digestive tract. Food also provides the friendly bacteria in your probiotic with the proper nourishment to ensure its survival in your gut. 

Our probiotics work best with an ancestral diet: unprocessed foods (meat, vegetables, fruits), healthy fats (olive oil, butter, lard, coconut oil, etc.), and no soy or grains (i.e., no wheat, corn, rice, etc.). 

Please avoid taking probiotics with certain foods that may diminish the potency:

  • Avoid chlorinated water.
  • Avoid hot soup and hot beverages (coffee, tea, etc.).
  • Avoid highly processed foods (store-bought juice, sugar, wheat and soy products).

I have histamine intolerance and/or sensitivity to D-lactate. How will this product affect me? 

Before starting any new supplement, it’s best to run it by your doctor.  

Each of the eight strains in our Sensitive Probiotic powder has extensive research supporting their safety and efficacy in helping revitalize the body.* We also considered the growth rate of these strains, so they would help maintain the balance in your gut.* For instance, its histamine-degrading strains balance the histamine-forming strains in the proper ratio.* This way, you can maximize your probiotic benefits while still minimizing your exposure to D-lactate and histamine.* (See more on D-lactic acidosis in the question below.) 

How are the strains in Sensitive Probiotic beneficial for D-lactic acidosis?

D-lactic acidosis occurs when the body produces an excess of a poorly-metabolized form of lactic acid (as compared to the more common and more readily metabolized L-lactic acid). Folks often experience brain fog— cloudy thinking, difficulty concentrating, fatigue and forgetfulness. These mental symptoms can be accompanied by digestive issues such as bloating, abdominal discomfort and distension, and gas after meals.* 

Here is the Smidge® philosophy on avoiding side effects from D-lactic acidosis. Eating processed foods and sugar can contribute to gut dysbiosis, both of which are contributing factors to D-lactic acidosis. Taking a probiotic that contains acidophilus as its primary strain, which generates D-lactic acid, can worsen things. 

Many eventually realize this and take a probiotic that avoids D-lactate strains — a great first step! But to really tackle the issue of D-lactic acidosis, many have found relief from eating a diet full of fresh, real, unprocessed foods, and taking a probiotic containing plantarum. Studies show that despite containing D-lactic acid and L-lactic acid, plantarum can reduce lactic acid and may even reduce lactic acidosis.* 

Here’s how: L. plantarum initially produces L(+)-lactate, and then switches to making D(-)-lactate, allowing for equilibrium. The production of D(-)-lactate in L. plantarum is linked to the cell wall's biosynthesis. 

So, Smidge® Sensitive Probiotic contains seven strains that only produce L-lactic acid — and L-plantarum has been shown to reduce D-lactic acidosis.* In all, plantarum is a powerful probiotic strain that can restore or address gut dysbiosis when combined with a healthy diet.* 

Where are the ingredients in Smidge® Sensitive Probiotic sourced and where is the supplement made? 

The strains in our Sensitive Probiotic powder are sourced and produced right here in the U.S :)

How many strains does this formula have? 

Smidge® Sensitive Probiotic powder has eight clinically-proven strains of probiotics for gut health (seven human strains: L. gasseri, L. salivarius, B. bifidum, B. breve, B. infantis, B. longum, B. lactis; and L. plantarum, a plant-based strain).* 

Does this probiotic contain prebiotics?

No. Most commercial probiotics are up to 80% prebiotics. This is notable because adding prebiotics reduces the potency of a probiotic supplement and therefore, reduces the cost per bottle. More importantly, we intentionally keep prebiotics separate from our probiotic formulas. We do not (add any additional ingredients), as many of our customers have very sensitive digestive systems or are biohackers who only want purity. 

A probiotic can work alone and does not require a prebiotic. Our pure probiotics can colonize without a prebiotic. Additionally, not all people taking a probiotic need a prebiotic. We recommend starting our probiotics without a prebiotic, before determining whether or not to add it to your protocol. We believe focusing on diet and real food is essential to support the colonization of good gut bacteria. 

If a person desires to use the prebiotic, they can take it separately. 

Here's some additional background regarding our philosophy on prebiotics: 

Most commercially available prebiotics are made from FOS/inulin. This starchy, sugary substance is counterproductive to gut health and overall health. There's also a concern that some kinds of yeast can use inulin/FOS for fuel, leading to overactive yeast production in the body. 

Why are soil-based strains omitted from your Sensitive Probiotic formula?

Here's the dirt on why we omitted soil-based strains: they can compete with gut flora rather than complement it. 

How can a quality probiotic help avoid diarrhea and constipation? 

Probiotic bacteria have the intelligence to aid with diarrhea and constipation, by modulating and regulating water in the colon to provide regularity.* So when you take quality probiotics with a whole food diet, your digestion and regularity are well, regular!* 

What is oxalate sensitivity and how does Sensitive Probiotic help?

Oxalate sensitivity is triggered by certain greens, veggies and fruits that people with sensitive digestive systems cannot handle, and it’s similar to a histamine reaction. The L. plantarum in Sensitive Probiotic works to remove oxalates that can build up in the system and cause inflammation or dysbiosis.*

    Hi Gina, thank you for taking the time to leave a review and share your experience with our product. We're so sorry to hear that you experienced an adverse reaction. Everyone's body chemistry is unique.

    We take great care in crafting our probiotics using only the highest quality, pure ingredients to ensure optimal potency and therapeutic benefits. However, as with any new supplement, there can sometimes be an adjustment period as your gut microbiome rebalances. In some cases, this can lead to temporary side effects like those you described. Temporary symptoms like increased histamine levels or digestive discomfort are not uncommon in the initial stages. These effects should be temporary and subside within a few weeks as your system becomes accustomed to the beneficial bacteria strains. If you’d like, we’re happy to assist further. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to our support team—we’d love to help!

    Infant vs Sensitive Probiotic Powder comparison

    I began my probiotic journey with the Smidge Infant Probiotic Powder as it was recommenced to me (copying my review below as it applies to this product too!) The Sensitive Probiotic Powder works slightly but noticeably better, and I think it would have been fine to start out with this product.

    Some context: I've been struggling for years to bounce back from multiple food allergy/intolerance symptoms + GI issues (with nothing found on an endoscope) that emerged post COVID. Negative tryptase results when tested for MCAS. ~30 year old female with "resolved" childhood asthma. This product was recommended to be as the best option for people with corn allergies. After just a couple weeks of taking this product, my mood and energy levels have improved considerably! I feel closer to how I felt in my "prime" than ever, and my GI issues (possibly IBS-D) are greatly reduced. It no longer feels like I'm starting each day with an energy deficit, and I am better able to tolerate starches, amino acids, exercise, and dairy. On-ramp was very gentle, with only a day 1 "purge", followed by a few days of mild upset and fatigue. Improved mood began immediately! I no longer feel full-body incapacitated when food doesn't agree with me. Looking forward to trying the versions with more probiotic strains!

    Best and economical

    After experimenting with all kinds of supplements, I stopped taking any - with the exception of this great product, which seems to have a noticeable & significant positive influence on my health. In the beginning I struggled with consuming the powder sprinkled on food. Then I discovered DIY veggie capsules, and with the little spoon that comes with every delivery I just make my own capsule every day and take it with food in the morning. After using smidge for about 8 years now I can say that it has no negative side effects for me throughout different diets and protocols, and it safe and pleasant.
