Indications
Probiotics encompass various micro-organisms, including yeast and bacteria, naturally present in the stomach, intestines, and vagina. Disruptions in the normal balance of bacteria or yeast can occur due to certain conditions. Probiotics serve to enhance digestion and reinstate the equilibrium of normal flora. They have been employed in the treatment of bowel issues like diarrhea and irritable bowel syndrome, eczema, vaginal yeast infections, lactose intolerance, and urinary tract infections. Probiotics are obtainable in both food sources and as dietary supplements.
