About Probiotics
Probiotics are healthy bacteria that live in the human intestines. They are necessary to maintain balance in the digestive system. Humans naturally have around 400 strains of probiotic flora in the intestinal tract, and they help prevent harmful bacteria from taking over. Lactic acid bacteria are the most prevalent probiotics. One such variety, lactobacillus acidophilus, is present in yogurt. Other foods also contain probiotics, including yeast and fermented foods like sauerkraut and Korean kimchi.[3]
Probiotic supplements or probiotic-fortified foods may be consumed to help maintain healthy levels of beneficial bacteria in the body. These are often used to combat diarrhea, particularly in cases where the use of antibiotics has created a deficit of probiotic bacteria in the intestines. Probiotics have also been shown to boost immunity in some cases.[3] Scientists are looking into the possibility that probiotics can help combat tooth decay, stomach infections, respiratory infections and more.[2]
