AN expert panel commissioned by FAO and WHO has defined probiotics as “live microorganisms, which when administered in adequate amounts, confer a health benefit on the host”.
Millions of these friendly bacteria are found throughout the digestive tract. They help to maintain a healthy balance in the intestinal and vaginal flora. Probiotics have been researched extensively in human studies, and many report a positive influence on intestinal health, immunity, diarrhoea, lactose intolerance, yeast infection and urogenital conditions.
