What Are Probiotics? Probiotic Supplements, Foods, Uses, Benefits
Great Probiotic Foods Yogurt
Yogurt is naturally fermented dairy culture, and contains a variety of lactobacillus strains of probiotic bacteria. Most yogurts have probiotic qualities, but some are better than others. Yogurts that are promoted as specifically ‘probiotic’ are generally best. Check that they contain some of the bacteria listed on our Choosing a Probiotic page. Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacteria bifidum are particularly helpful. Avoid yogurts that claim to be probiotic but don’t list the specific strains of bacteria on the packaging: these may not as helpful as they’re made out to be.
