Probiotics are “good” bacteria
and yeasts that help keep your digestive system healthy by controlling growth of harmful bacteria. We usually think of bacteria
as something that causes diseases. But your body is full of bacteria, both good
and bad. Probiotics are often called "good" or "helpful"
bacteria because they help keep your gut healthy. Prebiotics are carbohydrates
that cannot be digested by the human body. They are food for probiotics.
How Do They Work?
Here are some of the ways they
may keep you healthy:
- When you lose "good" bacteria in your body (like after you take antibiotics, for example), probiotics can help replace them.
- They help balance your "good" and "bad" bacteria to keep the normal functioning of the human body.
