Probiotics are non-pathogenic and non-toxin-producing living microorganisms that provide a beneficial effect on the human body when systematically consumed.

Our intestines contain microorganisms that populated them at birth and further in the process of colonization. Many of these bacteria are considered beneficial or "friendly", their other name is non–pathogenic. The functions of such bacteria include the conversion of fiber into short-chain fatty acids, the synthesis of certain vitamins, and the support of the body's immune system. Using probiotics can help increase the number of beneficial bacteria.

In essence, probiotics are microorganisms that provide a variety of beneficial effects for our health when consumed in the right amount.
