Gut Health In the Spotlight Science & Research

All About Precise Probiotics

The science of probiotics has evolved—bring your microbiome into the future.

By Team OLLY | 3 minute read

At OLLY, we see health as a set of connected biological systems, with your gut— specifically your gut microbiome—as the linchpin in the center.

The Goods Inside

  • Probiotic Support Beyond Gut Health
  • Designed to Deliver Microbiome Support

Your gut does more than digest food, it’s the command center of your whole body, housing not just your gastrointestinal tract, but your gut microbiome.

If your gut is the command center, the gut microbiome is the headquarters everything operates out of, in constant communication with your skin, your metabolism and your brain about how you’re doing and even how you’re feeling.

If your gut is involved with more than digestion, your probiotics should also offer benefits beyond that, which is why we’re so excited to announce the launch of new Precise Probiotics.

“Probiotics have come a long way from the one-size-fits-all approach,” says Patricia Bannon, MS, RDN and OLLY partner. “What’s exciting is pairing specific, clinically studied strains with thoughtfully selected ingredients so each probiotic is designed with a clear purpose.”

Introducing Precise Probiotics

Shikha Snigdha

“Probiotics have been stuck on one story—gut health—for far too long. The science has moved on and evolved, and now the shelf finally can too.

Precise Probiotics are the first line we’ve built to match how the microbiome actually works, with targeted, clinically studied strains for the three axes [skin, metabolism, brain] that shape how you show up every day.”

Precise Probiotics supports three very different jobs your microbiome does on the daily, delivering a targeted benefit in addition to digestive and immune health to support your stress response, metabolism or skin health.*

Because each of these probiotics were designed to support a specific gut axis, they’re not meant to be taken together. Read on to learn more about each Precise Probiotic so you can choose the right bonus benefit for you.

Support Your Stress Response

‘Gut feeling’ isn’t a metaphor. “Stress doesn’t just live in your head,” says Snigdha, “your gut and brain are in constant conversation, and probiotics help set the tone—especially around stress signals.”

The gut–brain axis is an around-the-clock broadcast tied to mood and stress regulation, with microbes involved in the signaling pathways about cortisol levels.*

Precise Probiotics with Stress Support was developed to help keep cortisol in its normal rhythm. The secret? Clinically studied B. longum 1714 to support a healthy stress response by maintaining normal cortisol and energy levels over time.*

Help Skin’s Hydration

Skin health is more closely connected to the gut than previously thought, with your microbiome constantly communicating with your skin through immune signaling pathways.

“Think of your gut like a plant’s root system,” says Snigdha, “your skin is what shows above the soil. When the roots are well supported, it shows on the surface as well.”

Precise Probiotics with Skin Support was designed to support the gut-skin axis and helps maintain normal pH balance and skin hydration, thanks to clinically studied ProBeautyShield, which supports healthy skin after 28 days of use.*

Give Your Metabolism a Helping Hand

Metabolism is more than calories in and calories out. The gut microbiome plays a huge role in digestive processing, digestive health, metabolic balance and ultimately weight management.*

“Calories are only half the story,” says Snigdha, “metabolism isn’t just about how much goes in, it’s about what your body does with the food you consume.

What happens in between is up to the trillions of microbes in your gut, and they’re doing more for your metabolism than we ever gave them credit for.”

Precise Probiotic with Metabolism Support was built to support your metabolism and help maintain a healthy weight with diet and exercise. Clinically studied B420™ promotes the growth of beneficial bacteria in your gut to support your metabolism after 6 months of daily use.*

Don’t Forget Your Digestive Health

Precise Probiotics are our answers to the gut–skin, gut–metabolism, and gut–brain axes, but we haven’t forgotten about two important systems—your digestive health and immune system.

Each strain in Precise Probiotics was intentionally selected based on clinical research and included to support a specific function within the body. All 3 of these products were developed with: SYNBIO (to promote regularity), which supports gut health in as little as 12 weeks, and Bi-07® to support a healthy immune system in as little as 3 weeks.*

More Than a Pretty Bottle

With all the effort that went into intentionally selecting clinically studied strains to design a probiotic that could provide specific benefits, it also made sense to be selective about our packaging.

Precise Probiotics come in patented moisture-controlled bottles, made with a desiccant lining that keeps out light, oxygen and moisture, even when opening and closing your bottle. This means you can keep your shelf stable probiotic wherever’s convenient for you (as long as it’s a cool, dry place) instead of keeping them in the fridge, like most probiotics.

But most importantly, this helps ensure that the live cultures (or CFUs) in your Precise Probiotics stay viable so they arrive in your gut “live,” which helps ensure you’re getting all the benefits you wanted.

Conclusion

Precise Probiotics offer real, targeted benefits beyond digestive health. These once daily capsules help build a steady routine over time so you can support your microbiome and strengthen one of the many gut axes that influence how you show up every day.
