But what are probiotics?

Probiotics are described as: Live microorganisms that, when administered in adequate amounts, confer a health benefit on the host. For instance, some specific strains of lactic acid bacteria and bifidobacteria have proved to have beneficial effect on the gut microbiota. These strains can be called "probiotics".
