Top Benefits of Probiotics

What's so great about probiotics? First off, not all bacteria in the body are harmful. Some are quite helpful to body processes, like digestion. Consider probiotics the good kind of bacteria. Probiotics are commonly found in foods like yogurt, milk, miso, and some juices. In addition to improved digestive health, here are a few benefits of probiotics.

  • Offset Effects of Antibiotics: Taking antibiotics can kill off good bacteria in the body, which can cause gas and cramping. Probiotics often are taken in supplement form to replace the beneficial bacteria in the body.
  • Help with Medical Conditions: Researchers are currently exploring the ability of probiotics to help with medical conditions like irritable bowel syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease, and periodontal disease.
  • Enhanced Immune System Function: Some medical professionals theorize the cells in the digestive tract affect the immune system function. If this is true, probiotics may have the ability to enhance the immune system's performance.
