Probiotics are live microorganisms (in other words, bacteria) that are similar to helpful bacteria found in the human digestive tract. Probiotics are commonly known as "friendly bugs" or "good bacteria". Probiotics are available to consumers in the form of dietary supplements and foods such as yogurt. I recommend the BioGaia line of probiotic supplements for infants, children, and adults. DISCLOSURE: I have a relationship with the US distributor of BioGaia so I have an interest in promoting these products. However, they are the finest I have found.
BioGaia: What is Lactobacillus Reuteri (L. Reuteri)?
BioGaia contains Lactobacillus Reuteri (L. Reuteri), a strain that has been proven to be uniquely effective.
L. reuteri is one of the most well-researched probiotics with respect to health effects and safety. The bacteria strains used in BioGaia Probiotic products were originally sampled from human body sites.
L. reuteri has a natural health-promoting role and it is scientifically proven to help protect us from the actions of harmful bacteria in the stomach, the gut and the mouth. L. reuteri also strengthens our immunity.
BioGaia Probiotic products deliver live friendly Lactobacillus reuteri (L. reuteri). The products are intended for the support of gut, immune and oral health.
