PROBIOTICS 101: WHAT IS A PROBIOTIC?
Probiotics are known as friendly or good bacteria. Definitions of the term probiotic have evolved over the years to today's consensus, developed by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations: Probiotics are live bacteria which, when administered in adequate amounts, confer a health benefit on the host.

While the general belief is that the only good bacteria are dead bacteria, that's not true. It's a common misconception that all bacteria are the enemy and should be eliminated. While there are plenty of bad bacteria, the majority of bacteria are critical to our survival.
