Probiotics
Introduction
Probiotics are live bacterial cultures that occur naturally in the gastrointestinal tract.

Unfortunately, the delicate balance of "good" cultures in the GI tract can be disturbed by factors like stress, the use of antibiotics and the Pill.

Find out how supplementation and a diet rich in probiotics can boost your health.
