Prebiotics vs Probiotics - Is One Better Than the Other?

You’ve probably heard something about “probiotics” in the news or at the grocery store.

Probiotics are “friendly” bacteria. They help your digestive system work efficiently — both to digest and absorb nutrients and to remove toxins.

Probiotic supplements can literally contain billions of friendly bacteria in a single dose.

Two of the most popular strains of friendly bacteria are “Lactobacillus acidophilus” and “Lactobacillus bifidus.” Some supplements mix together a variety of different strains of these good bacteria.
