Lets start with the basics. Probiotics are live cultures of the ‘GOOD’ bacteria that are found in your gastrointestinal tract/mucosal membranes. These bacteria have a special job; they are there to protect your tissue from outside invaders and pathogens, and are responsible for keeping the overgrowth of ‘BAD’ bacteria at bay, and keeping the overgrowth of yeast at bay.
