Probiotics
What Are Probiotics?
Probiotics are live bacteria and yeasts that you take as supplements. They’re meant to support the trillions of microbes already living in your gut. The idea is simple: add good bacteria, improve your health.
But here’s what most people get wrong. “Probiotics” isn’t one thing. It’s a category. Different strains do different things. Taking a random probiotic for depression is like taking a random antibiotic for a specific infection. The strain matters.
