Probiotics are:
Live microorganisms (in most cases, bacteria) that are similar to beneficial microorganisms found in the human gut. They are also called "friendly bacteria" or "good bacteria."
Probiotics are available to consumers mainly in the form of dietary supplements and foods. (for example, capsules, tablets, and powders) and in some other forms as well.
Examples of foods containing probiotics are
yogurt, fermented and unfermented milk, miso, tempeh, and some juices and soy beverages.
In probiotic foods and supplements, the bacteria may have been present originally or added during preparation.
what do probiotics do in the body ?
The body, including the colon, is naturally filled with bacteria, yeast, and other microbes that work in symbiosis with the human body.
These helpful bacteria enable healthier digestion and help fight infectious disease.
Probiotics are similar in their effect and behavior to these helpful bacteria, and play an important role in helping the body to gain or maintain a healthy internal ecosystem.
The amount of "good bacteria" in the gut can be compromised by antibiotics or pathogenic microbes. When "unfriendly" yeasts, bacteria, or viruses colonize the colon, they can cause or contribute to many conditions, including ulcers, weakened immune system, irritable bowel syndrome, vaginal infection, and diarrhea.
Probiotics keep these problems at bay by stabilizing the balance of intestinal flora.
I have always been intrigued by probiotics,
so many health benefits.
I've ben looking into: Advanced Probiotic from Ruthless Supplements.
