Probiotics are live bacteria and yeasts that are called "the good" microorganisms because they benefit the body, specifically the digestive system. Probiotics, available in some foods and dietary supplements, are similar to probiotics that exist naturally in human gut.

The body does not need the addition of food and supplements that contain probiotics to be healthy. However, food and supplements that contain probiotics assist the job of the "good" bacteria already present in the human gut. Probiotics may help keep people healthy by decreasing the number of "bad" bacteria in the gut that can cause infections or inflammation

It also helps in replacing the body's "good" bacteria (replacing the "good" bacteria that have been lost when taking antibiotics) and restoring the body's "good" versus "bad" bacterial balance, which then helps to keep the body functioning properly.
