Probiotika
Overview
Probiotics are live microorganisms — bacteria (Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium) and yeasts (Saccharomyces) — that may confer health benefits when consumed in adequate amounts. Strongest evidence: prevention of antibiotic-associated diarrhea and C. difficile-associated diarrhea. Safe for healthy adults. Contraindicated in immunocompromised individuals and preterm infants where bacteremia or fungemia has occurred. Product quality varies significantly; actual CFU counts often differ from labeling.
