The truth is the human body is made up of billions of bacteria, without many of which we would not survive.
The term “probiotics” relates to foods and nutritional supplements that contain these same “good” bacteria found in the body.
It is normally not necessary to supplement with probiotics to stay healthy.
Most of us have enough of the friendly bacteria to do fine.
Along with being found in nutritional supplements there are many foods that contain probiotics such as: miso, yogurt, fermented and unfermented milk, and various juices and soymilks.
