So why probiotics? From their website information:
Multiple studies have shown that probiotics are an essential part of healthy living. According to the World Health Organization, "probiotics are live microorganisms which when administered in adequate amounts confer a health benefit on the host." We know it may seem strange to be putting bacteria in your body, but probiotics are healthy bacteria. And your body really can't get enough of these belly bugs! They work to keep a healthy balance of intestinal flora and reduce the amount of harmful bacteria by replenishing the 'friendly' bacteria. Poor diet, stress, exercise, and the use of antibiotics all play a role as well. By balancing the amount of good and bad bacteria in your digestive tract, probiotics can help get your body back in balance.
