Probiotics
People often think that bacteria and microorganisms are harmful ‘germs’ to the body, but interestingly, microorganisms are very much needed for the benefit of the body, helping the body to function properly. Some of these microorganisms help in the digestion of food in the stomach, some provide vitamins, and so on. Probiotic is a microorganism otherwise known as “friendly bacteria.” They are similar to the microorganisms which are found in the human gut and beneficial to the body. Probiotics may help to prevent diarrhea that is caused by antibiotics or infections. Products sold as probiotics are foods, dietary supplements, and skin creams. They have just minor side effects but can pose serious complications in people with underlying health issues. [3]
