What are probiotics?
A probiotic is filled with “good” bacteria, as oppose to the bad bacteria that anti-biotics aim to get rid of. Probiotics encourage a healthy digestive system. They are great for producing vitamins, reducing IBS symptoms, repairing gut lining, restricting bad bacteria overgrowth and increasing the resistance to infections.
