Bacteria gets a bad rap. While the idea of consuming bacteria can be unsettling, it’s important to know the facts: Probiotics, or “friendly bacteria,” are naturally found in foods like yogurt and miso, as well as inside your body. These beneficial bacteria can help improve gut health, boost immunity, and support many of your body’s systems.

Colonies of good bacteria live inside our gut and help us to properly digest food and absorb nutrients, and they play a big role in overall immunity. However, these colonies can become depleted, and the decrease of these colonies can negatively affect the entire digestive system and result in constipation, abdominal discomfort, and suboptimal health. Good bacteria can become depleted for a number of reasons, including illness, gastric or intestinal absorption disorders, autoimmune diseases, chronic alcohol use, poor diet, antibiotic use, and the misuse of certain medications such as laxatives.
