Probiotics in human health

• Probiotics are live microorganisms which provide health benefits when consumed, generally by improving or restoring the gut flora.
• The majority of probiotics are bacteria with the species of lactobacillus and bifidobacterium being the most common type of bacteria used.

What is the need for probiotics?

Under natural conditions, a healthy gut microflora develops and there is no need for probiotic supplementation. However, a busy lifestyle and poor diet of processed food plus the overuse of antibiotics would alter the composition of gut microbiota. Probiotic replenish good bacteria in the gut, contributing a good microflora.
