There are live microorganisms such as bacteria and yeast, that when ingested in adequate amounts, can be beneficial to human health. This group of microorganisms is known as probiotics. In most cases, probiotics are bacteria and are referred to as good bacteria.
Probiotics are good for health. They especially help to keep the digestive system in a healthy form. They also help to destroy and keep in check, the disease-causing microorganisms. They can be found in yogurt and some dairy products.They can as well be taken as supplements.
Probiotics have been linked to a possibility of reducing diarrhea, common cold, and some other health problems. However, research is still ongoing to ascertain specific bacteria that are capable of preventing certain illnesses, as well as the proper dosage to be taken in order to have a maximum beneficial effect.
