Probiotics are beneficial bacteria that can help to improve gut health and digestion. They can be found in a variety of food and supplement forms. Adding probiotics to your diet can help to balance the gut microbiome, improve digestion, boost the immune system, and even improve mood and cognitive function.

There are many different types of probiotics, each with its own unique benefits. Some of the most common types include:

Lactobacillus

This is one of the most well-known and well-studied types of probiotics. Strains of Lactobacillus can be found in fermented foods such as yoghurt and kefir, as well as in supplement form. They can help to improve digestion, boost the immune system, and even reduce the risk of certain types of cancer.

Bifidobacterium

This type of probiotic is often found in the human gut and is particularly beneficial for infants and young children. Bifidobacterium can help to improve digestion and boost the immune system.

Streptococcus thermophilus

This type of probiotic is found in fermented dairy products such as yoghurt and can help to improve digestion and boost the immune system.

Saccharomyces boulardii

This is a type of yeast probiotic that can help to improve digestion, boost the immune system, and even reduce the risk of diarrhoea.

Escherichia coli (E. coli) Nissle 1917

This is a type of probiotic that can help to improve digestion, boost the immune system, and even reduce the risk of certain types of cancer.

Lactococcus lactis

This is a type of probiotic that can help to improve digestion and boost the immune system. It is often used in fermented dairy products such as cheese and yoghurt.

Bacillus coagulans

This is a type of probiotic that can help to improve digestion and boost the immune system. It is often used in supplement form.

It’s important to note that not all probiotics are the same and different strains of probiotics can have different effects on the body. It’s also important to consult with a healthcare professional before taking any probiotic supplement. It’s also important to consume a variety of probiotics, as different probiotic strains can help to balance the gut microbiome and provide the most benefits.

In addition to probiotics supplements, you can also add probiotics to your diet by consuming fermented foods such as yoghurt, kefir, sauerkraut, kimchi, and tempeh. You can also consume probiotic-rich foods such as miso, soft cheeses, sourdough bread, kvass, coconut kefir, natto, acidophilus milk, sour pickles, kombucha, and pickles.
