I am sure most of you have heard of probiotics but are not quite sure of their relevance to human health. Probiotics are live microorganisms such as yeast and bacteria that we orally ingest which are believed to have beneficial effects in our bodies, most specifically our digestive system. We take probiotics in the hopes of re-colonizing our digestive tract with “good’ bacteria and thus overtaking “bad” bacteria which have been linked to a variety of health problems.
