Probiotics are everywhere. They’re popping up in everything from instant beverages to coffee to condiments. More than likely, you’ve heard about them, but do you really know what they are? Let’s break it down in simple terms.

Our bodies contain bacteria of all forms. Don’t fret...some bacteria can be good for us! The bacteria in our bodies are generally classified as good bacteria and bad bacteria. When you get an infection, that means there is more bad bacteria in your system. The goal is to promote the growth of good bacteria to destroy the bad bacteria and restore order in the body.

Probiotics are made up of living good bacteria. They help fight off the bad bacteria and keep you healthy. The more balanced your bacteria are the better. The goal of probiotic supplements is to supply the body with the necessary good bacteria to help maintain balance in the gut and avoid infection and illness.

Three Quick Takeaways:

1. Our body is made up of good and bad bacteria.
2. Probiotics are living “good” bacteria.
3. Probiotics may help increase the good bacteria in your body to help fight off infection and illness.
