What are probiotics?

Probiotics (“pro” meaning “for” and “biotic” meaning “life”) are basically beneficial
bacteria. Along with a few other benign organisms they are known as “friendly flora”. As you will see, these good guys not only perform dozens of important functions, but they are actually essential to life. The healthy digestive tract is host to approximately 4 pounds of organisms – there are actually more of them than our own cells – and there are as many as 400 species of bacteria alone. Some probiotics are passed along at birth from mom, we get some from fermented foods, but you will see why modern life forces us to supplement. It is interesting to note that during the Civil War, when sauerkraut (a food fermented by friendly bacteria) was a part of prisoners’ diets, the death rates from small pox dropped from 90% to 5%.
