Probiotic Supplements - Lets Be Friends

Probiotics are basically good bacteria and yeasts that live in the colon and in the digestive system. Our gut is also home to other types of bad bacteria which are balanced and kept in check by the good bacteria. You need a good balance in your gut but the balance is usually upset by internal and external causes such as stress, bad diet, and toxins. Probiotics help to maintain peace and balance in your digestive system by getting rid of harmful bacteria that throw everything off balance. They also help to eliminate the harmful side effects of antibiotics.

A healthy balanced digestive system may help to:

• Balance the gut and improve digestion
