Probiotics are living microorganisms that are present in the digestive system and perceived to confer numerous benefits. They can be found in products such as kombucha and yogurt, and in various oral supplements taken as tablets or capsules. Researchers are continuing to investigate the connection between these live bacteria and yeasts and the prevention or treatment of various health conditions.
