Probiotics are preparations made of organisms that are considered normal flora in the healthy intestines. These organisms work together to create an environment conducive to well-being. If there are not enough good bacteria, the disease producing ones will flourish causing poor health.
Generally speaking the greater the number of different strains of bacteria, the better the product. I found the Garden of Life brand to be superior. Primal Defense Ultra has 13 strains and Women 50 and Wiser contains 33 strains. The more strains you have the better they will compete with harmful bacteria and keep you well!
