Probiotics are basically defined as ‘friendly’ or beneficial bacteria, mainly resident at various points in the digestive system. The relationship of these bacteria with the person in whose tummy they are resident can be described as a symbiotic relationship, that is, a relationship in which both parties benefit. The bacteria, on one side, get a place to live and food to eat, whereas the person in whose tummy they are resident gets the benefit of general wellness including streamlined digestion, which these bacteria come with.

Unfortunately some things we do – like the overuse of antacids, alongside with some foods we eat, discourage the growth of these beneficial bacteria (probiotics). If the friendly bacteria resident in our bodies get all eliminated, then we are bound to suffer some problems with our digestion, because these bacteria were put in the tummy by nature for a reason, and they serve a useful role for which they can never be quite substituted.

If the probiotic level in your body has gotten thus dangerously low, you are usually advised to consider taking a probiotic supplement. Taking such a probiotic supplement, if it happens to be properly formulated, will see the restoration of the probiotic bacteria level to where it is supposed to be with the end result being better digestion (the end of most of the digestive problems you might be experiencing) and a general feeling of wellness.
