Probiotics are live microorganisms that provide health benefits when consumed in adequate amounts. They are often referred to as ‘good bacteria’ and are found in certain fermented foods such as yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut, and kimchi. Probiotics help to maintain a healthy balance of bacteria in the gut and promote overall digestive health. They have been shown to improve symptoms of digestive disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome and inflammatory bowel disease. Additionally, probiotics may boost the immune system, lower cholesterol levels, and reduce the risk of certain infections. While probiotics are generally safe for most people, those with weakened immune systems or serious medical conditions should consult with a healthcare provider before taking them.
