Probiotics are live microorganisms that, when consumed in adequate amounts, provide health benefits to the host. These beneficial bacteria help maintain a healthy balance in the gut microbiome, supporting digestion, immune function, and potentially mental health through the gut-brain axis. Different strains of probiotics offer varying benefits: some help with digestive issues like bloating and constipation, others support immune function, and some may help with mood and anxiety. Probiotic supplements come in various forms including capsules, powders, and liquids, with different products containing different combinations of bacterial strains. The effectiveness of probiotics depends on factors like strain selection, dosage, and individual gut microbiome composition. While fermented foods like yogurt, kefir, and sauerkraut can provide probiotics, supplements offer a more concentrated and consistent dose of specific strains.
