Probiotics

Dietary supplements containing probiotics—live microorganisms that, when administered in appropriate amounts, have a beneficial effect on the host's health, primarily by restoring intestinal microflora and supporting the immune system. Their effects are strain-specific, meaning that a specific strain (e.g., Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG) has been proven to be effective in treating specific ailments, such as diarrhea or supporting antibiotic therapy.
