Probiotics

Probiotics

Our bodies are full of bacteria, both good and bad. Probiotics are the good bacteria that help aid digestion and enable your body to absorb nutrients from food.* Some foods, like yogurt, are a source of probiotics but probiotics can also be found in the form of supplements.

Antibiotics can cause an imbalance of good and bad bacteria. Probiotics may help maintain a healthy balance of bacteria during a course of antibiotics.* 

Common Types of Bacteria in Probiotics
Lactobacillus Produces lactase, which is the enzyme that breaks down lactose, and lactic acid that keeps the bad bacteria in check. 
Bifidobacterium Found in the digestive tract of humans and in dairy products.

These types of probiotics are further divided into different strains.  Each strain has a different function in the body.*
