Other probiotic brands brag about dozens of strains and billions of CFUs.

But it’s about quality, not quantity. Routine has curated only the strongest, most effective strains tucked into a slow-release capsule to prevent nausea and ensure your body absorbs all that beneficial bacteria. Plus, we top off our unique formula with Ashwagandha, one of the few clinically studied herbs that can help ease stress and anxiety. And Routine is always allergen-free and vegan, and free of GMOs, chemicals, and fillers.

Trust, Transparency, Traceability

Routine is proven to help with GI symptoms, like constipation, irregular bowel movements, and flatulence, and provides relief for IBS.

What happens in the bathroom can tell you a lot about your health. Maybe your gut transit time—how long it takes food to make its way through your digestive tract after all the chewing, breaking down via enzymes, and nutrient absorption—is normal. Or maybe you struggle with diarrhea or constipation. Gas and bloat? Not fun either.

Probiotics can be an integral tool to get your GI tract back on track (and keep it that way). How exactly? By increasing good bacteria, stimulating the digestive hormone cholecystokinin, and breaking down bile salts to help with excretion and toxin elimination1. In other words, it helps keep things moving.

For Routine, we picked one of the most highly studied strains to address the gut. Bifidobacterium lactis HN019 has been shown to improve gut health, help naturally regulate your digestive system, and nix those uncomfortable symptoms. For instance, a randomized, triple-blind, placebo-controlled study of adult men and women found that those who took B. lactis HN019 for 2 weeks had a shorter gut transit time and significantly reduced GI symptoms, like constipation, irregular bowel movements, and flatulence. But it’s not just about discomfort; GI symptoms and longer gut transit times have been associated with gallstones, breast and bowel cancers, and other illnesses1.

Probiotics Research

Even in low doses, B. lactis HN019 makes a difference. In a 4-week study of elderly adults, those who took the lowest levels of the probiotic strain still saw an increase in good gut microflora, specifically bifidobacteria, lactobacilli, and enterococci2. Like we say, bacteria can sometimes be your best friend.
