As a Greek word, "Probiotic"
means "for life." As defined by the Food and Agriculture
Organization of the United Nations (FAO), probiotics are "live
microorganisms which when administered in adequate amount confer a health
benefit on the host (FAO 2001)."
Probiotics are friendly microbes that help keep the human digestive system
stable and running smoothly. Probiotics are found naturally in yoghurt.
Several food producers add probiotics to their recipes to improve the health
benefits of their products. Moreover, doctors suggest them to ease the
abdominal cramping, gas and diarrhea which is often linked with using
antibiotics.
Probiotics are widely used in U.S., Europe, and Japan. Probiotic
supplements have now been embraced and accepted as agents that can bring
significant health benefits.
