Passion for Probiotics

“Probiotics are good-for-you-bacteria that are similar to the bacteria naturally found in and on our bodies,” Dr. Raj explained. “We usually think of bacteria as something harmful, but your body is full of good bacteria that helps it function properly. In fact, the average human has trillions of bacteria that live in our digestive tracts! According to the American Gastroenterological Association, probiotics are most commonly used to promote digestive health, but they’re one of the fastest growing areas of research right now.”

The TULA brand evolved through Dr. Raj’s career as a gastroenterologist. She began to research the use of topical probiotics on the skin, which is what led to the development of TULA’s probiotic-infused skin-care line. “TULA means ‘balance’ in Sanskrit, and the brand is about wellness for the mind, body, and soul. We’re continuously challenging ourselves to develop products that can impact your skin in a positive way.”
