Maura Higgins' Probiotic Gummies in Her Birkin? What's the Deal?
Just saw that article about Maura Higgins' Birkin bag. Probiotic gummies? I mean, I'm all for gut health, but is she just jumping on the bandwagon or is there some actual science behind taking them? I've been reading that probiotics can help with digestion and immunity, but I wonder if they're really worth the hype. Anyone else got thoughts?
Honestly, I'm not surprised. Celebrities are always into the latest wellness trends. But probiotics are legit. I take them every day, and they've helped my bloating like crazy. I prefer the capsules though, cause I used to take gummies and they had added sugar. But if it works for her, good on her. I just hope she doesn't think they'll replace a healthy diet, ya know?
I love that she carries them in her Birkin! It's funny how celebrity endorsements can make a simple supplement feel fancy. But I'm with you on the science part. I travel a lot for work, and my gut gets all messed up. I've tried those gummy probiotics, and they do seem to help when I'm on the road. But the sugar thing is real. I look for ones with low sugar or sugar-free. Also, that lip gloss she mentioned? I'm more curious about that haha.
Yeah, the sugar is a downside. I usually check the label. As long as you're not eating a ton of them, it's probably fine. But I think probiotic gummies can be a good introduction for people who hate swallowing pills. I've also read that not all probiotic strains are created equal, so you gotta pick one with specific strains that have research behind them. Anyway, fun to see what's in a celeb's bag!
