What are probiotics for?
Probiotics are live bacteria and yeasts that, in large enough quantities, can have health benefits for their human host.
They are the ‘good’ or ‘healthy’ bacteria that maintain balance within your gut. They exert their beneficial effects usually within the gastrointestinal tract, influencing the residents of the colonic microbiota.
The potential health benefits of probiotic microorganisms are the current focus of many scientific studies. So far, different probiotic strains could have potentially useful effects for:
- Diarrhea
- Constipation
- Atopic dermatitis
- Inflammatory conditions
- Inflammatory bowel disease
- Irritable bowel syndrome
- Weight gain
- Immunity
- Menopause
