Pseudomonas glathei
Pseudomonas glathei is a soil-based probiotic bacteria used to support gut microbiome diversity. Unlike common fruit-based nutrients, it is a microscopic organism that survives stomach acid to help balance digestion and immune function naturally.

Health Benefits & Sources
Why You Need It
- Gut Diversity: Adds robust bacterial strains to the digestive system.
- Digestive Resilience: Survives harsh stomach acid effectively.
- Immune Balance: Supports the gut-immune axis.
Deep Dive
While not a nutrient found in food, this probiotic acts as a 'gardener' for your gut. It helps maintain a healthy environment, ensuring that 'bad' bacteria don't overgrow. It is often used to support those with weakened digestion or high stress, which negatively impacts gut health.
Natural Food Sources
Note: This specific bacteria is not found in food. To support it, eat Prebiotics (Fiber that feeds bacteria):
| Food | Benefit |
|---|---|
| Garlic | Feeds gut bacteria |
| Asparagus | High in inulin fiber |
| Bananas | Resistant starch |
Supplementation
Found in specialized probiotic blends. Look for 'Soil-Based Organisms' (SBO) on the label. Take on an empty stomach.

Frequently Asked Questions
It is generally considered safe for healthy adults but is not recommended for those with weakened immune systems.
No, it is a bacteria found in soil, not a nutrient found in fruits or vegetables.
It is researched for its hardiness and ability to survive the journey through the stomach acid better than other probiotics.
Probiotics (like Pseudomonas) are the bacteria themselves. Prebiotics (like garlic/fiber) are the food that helps the bacteria grow.
Safety & Side Effects
Do not take if you have a severely compromised immune system or central line catheters. Potential side effects include temporary gas or bloating.
