Description
Inside out digestive tracts, trillions of bacteria have taken up residence. These bacteria need us and we need them to survive. It’s a symbiotic relationship we have with these parasites. Although we don’t often think about it, the bacteria that live within us help digest our foods, protect us from disease, and improve immune functions. Without bacteria, we would not survive very long.

A probiotic is any product that contains enough live microorganisms to bring about beneficial health effects. Essentially, probiotics are healthy bacteria—healthy bacteria that are easily ingested and help to restore the balance inside our digestive system.

In Bacteria for Breakfast: Probiotics for Good Health, we will find out just why we need these bacteria and explore which probiotics, according to current scientific and medical research, are most effective for treating a variety of health concerns.
