Probiotic bacteria are believed to favourably alter the
intestinal micro flora balance, inhibit the growth of harmful
bacteria, promote good digestion, boost immune function, and
increase resistance to infection.
People with flourishing
intestinal colonies of beneficial bacteria may be better
equipped to fight the growth of disease-causing bacteria.
Lactobacilli maintains a
healthy balance of intestinal flora by producing organic
compounds such as lactic acid, hydrogen peroxide, and acetic
acid-that increase the acidity of the intestine and inhibit
the reproduction of many harmful bacteria.
Probiotic bacteria also produce
substances called bacteriocins, which may counteract
undesirable micro organisms.
Where are they found ?
Beneficial bacteria present in fermented dairy foods- namely
live culture yoghurt. Yoghurt is the traditional source of
beneficial bacteria. However, different brands of yoghurt can
vary greatly in their bacteria strain and potency
