As the benefits of probiotics become more common knowledge, an increasing number of people are using probiotics to treat or improve illnesses or to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
Probiotics are found in cultured dairy products and other fermented foods such as miso or kimchi. If you are unsure if you are getting enough probiotics in your diet, supplements are also available. When choosing a supplement, pay close attention to the number of live organisms per dose and whether the manufacturer takes steps to ensure the probiotics survive the packaging and delivery.
