Probiotics, also known as "beneficial bacteria" (e.g., lactobacilli and bifidobacteria) are used in many parts of the world to help reinforce our normal gut microflora, support healthy digestion, provide immune support, and maintain optimal health and wellness.  Beneficial bacteria are considered our first line of defense as they help to strengthen the immune system naturally.  Note! Probiotics are found in yogurt and other cultured milk foods and available as supplements in form of capsules, tablets, or powder.  Click here to learn more about probiotics and digestive health.
