Abstract: Probiotics are living microorganisms, so-called "good" bacteria that can have extremely positive effects on health. Although people often think of bacteria and other microorganisms as harmful "germs", many of them are actually beneficial and even necessary for health and normal functioning of the body. Many "good" bacteria help digest food, destroy disease-causing cells, and produce vitamins. Microorganisms in probiotic products are the same or similar to microorganisms that naturally live in our bodies, and they affect digestion and improve the immune system.
