Probiotics for you
So what are probiotics? How do they work? And what should you think about when buying them?
Here we give you an introduction to the basic facts.
Probiotics – live healthy bacteria
The word probiotic means “for life”. Antibiotic, on the other hand, means “against life”. Probiotics, which are dietary supplements in the same way that vitamins and minerals are, contain live bacteria that have health benefits for the digestive and immune systems. These are “good” bacteria. They have been used for centuries as a naturally occurring component of fermented food, such as cheese and sauerkraut.
