Probiotics are known as “good” bacteria. They are essentially live microorganisms that are beneficial to the human digestive system. Probiotics are available for consumers to ingest through supplements and foods, such as yogurt. In order for yogurt to contain probiotics, the label should say “live cultures” or “active cultures”.

Although more scientific knowledge is needed, probiotics are said to help regulate the digestive system as well as prevent and treat illnesses. Some people also use probiotics when taking antibiotics. Since antibiotics kill off the good bacteria along with the bad bacteria, probiotics are thought to replenish the good bacteria.

The supplemental form of probiotics are in the form of tablets, capsules and powders. Lactobacillus is one of the most common forms of probiotics. Supplemental probiotics can be purchased online from Amazon, Drugstore.com, iHerb.com, CVS, Rite Aid and Walgreens to name just a few.
