What are probiotics?

The human digestive system contains about 100 trillion (1 with 14 zeros) bacteria of about 400-500 different types – both good and bad – which need to be kept in balance in order for the system to work correctly.

Taking probiotics, either as supplements or added to food, boosts the good bacteria and helps you ensure that the right balance is achieved.

L. reuteri, the bacterium on which BioGaia holds international patents, fulfils all the requirements of a probiotic.
