227 – The Next Generation of Probiotic and Prebiotics – My Interview with Dr. Jason Mitchell

What is a Probiotic?

The word Probiotic, according to the WHO (World Health Organization) means:

“Probiotics are living microorganisms, which, when administered in adequate amounts, confer a health benefit on the host.”

Pro means “For”

Biotic means “Life”

Probiotic means “Pro-Life”

In other words, probiotics are “good bacteria”. Your native intestinal micro flora is your indigenous probiotics. Probiotic supplements provide beneficial living bacteria, such as Lactobacillus and Bifidobactia, that help to support digestive balance and digestive health.
