Good bacteria
The digestive system of an adult human being is quite complex, containing about 100 trillion bacteria. This amazing network relies on a delicate balance between good bacteria and the potentially harmful ones. Probiotic bacteria help keep the digestive system in balance.
Long and healthy life
The benefits of probiotics were already described at the beginning of the last century by the Russian Nobel Prize winner Elie Metchnikoff, who suggested that Bulgarian peasants owed their long and healthy life to eating yoghurt and other fermented milk products.
For life
The word probiotic literally means "for life," and is the opposite of the word antibiotic.
Probiotics are good bacteria
Thus, probiotics are good bacteria that can help boost the levels of beneficial bacteria in the gut, whereas antibiotics are prescribed by the doctor to attack and kill infections and unwanted bacteria in our body.
