Probiotics has become a healthy lifestyle for more and more families all over the world. But to provide your families with probiotics, you should become familiar with the probiotics itself. This site will be your first source of information around probiotics.

Probiotics is dietary supplements or food products that contain beneficial, friendly and good bacteria or yeasts normally found in human body. While according to FAO/WHO’s definition, probiotics are: ‘Living microorganisms which, when administered in adequate amounts, confer a health benefit on the host’.

The basic concept behind probiotics is that your body is host to microorganisms or bacteria known as gut flora, that are essential to your health. Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are the most common type of microbes. LAB has been used in the food industry for many years, because they are able to convert sugars (including lactose) and other carbohydrates into lactic acid.

 

Why Do We Need Probiotics ?

The negative effect of consuming antibiotics has already been a concern among many families nowadays (including yours !). But why ?  

Antibiotics are designed to kill germs and disease, however in use, antibiotics kill also the good bacteria in your gut. Excess use of antibiotics, such as any other drugs might unbalance a numbers of bacterial types in your body. Excess alcohol, diseases, exposure of toxic substances, and stress have also the same effect. In those conditions, the good bacteria in your body will decrease, and at the end will allow harmful bacteria to attack your health.

This is where you need probiotics. By introducing friendly microbes or probiotics to your gut flora, you can strengthen your resident friendly microbes over a period of time.
