What Are Probiotics, Really?

What’s Living in my Gut? What’s in my Gut Microbiome?

Always heard bacteria are bad. Why is taking bacteria good? Your body needs beneficial bacteria for a number of things, including healthy digestion. These essential bacteria are sensitive to things such as changes in diet and schedule, stress and travel. Probiotics may help by delivering healthy bacteria to the digestive system.

Taking a probiotic supplement daily can help increase the good bacteria in your gut to maintain a healthy balance 

What Are Probiotics?

Probiotics are live microorganisms, mainly bacteria and some yeasts, that provide therapeutic effect when consumed in adequate amounts. They are commonly known as 'good' or 'friendly' bacteria and are often added to food products or taken as supplements to promote digestive health and overall well-being. 

Your gut microbiome contains billions of microbial species. Some are positive, while others are negative.

The Probiotic Determines the Benefit

Genus: Lactobacillus
Species: acidophilus

Then, you'll probably need to adjust your usual diet to acquire enough probiotics to reap the advertised health benefits. Food that contains probiotics Curd (Yogurt), Buttermilk, Pickles etc.
