Probiotics are live microorganisms similar to the beneficial ones naturally found in the human gut. Probiotics are also known as friendly or good bacteria and generally come from two groups, Lactobacillus or Bifidobacterium.
Within each species are diferent strains, or varieties, such as L.acidophilus and B. longum that impart benefits to the small or large intestine.
Probiotics help restore the body's friendly bacteria and help crowd out unfriendly bacteria and yeast. This intestinal balance helps your digestive system work smoothly and helps your immune system fight off the growth of harmful bacteria.
Taking probiotics can replace beneficial bacteria lost by antibiotic use, poor dietary habits, or other health conditions.
