What are Probiotics ?

Probiotics are good bacteria that are naturally present in our gut/intestine and they are also found in some drinking yogurts like Actimel.

The World Health Organisation defines probiotics as: "live bacteria that when eaten in sufficient quantities, have a beneficial effect on our health (WHO 2002). Probiotic drinking yoghurts and yogurts contain these live bacteria which help our health in different ways, depending on the strain of the bacteria and the amount of it in the product that we eat or drink".
