Flore Blog
Evidence-based gut-health articles from Flore — the original personalized probiotic, founded in 2018. We translate real microbiome science into practical guidance on digestion, the gut–brain axis, probiotics and prebiotics, diet, and conditions like IBS, bloating, SIBO, and post-antibiotic recovery. Every Flore formula is built from your own gut-sequencing data; these articles explain the science behind how and why personalized probiotics work.
