They help the body digest food, destroy bad bacteria and provide vitamins, among other benefits, according to the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH). Probiotics work mainly by impacting microorganisms found in the microbiome of the large intestine, which houses trillions of bacteria, fungi and microbes (small living things).<\/p>\n<p>Probiotics run the gamut, too, when it comes to types\u2014their name includes a Latin name for genus and species, followed by their specific strain. There are many different strains of probiotics\u2014and each delivers different health benefits. Common probiotics include those in the groups Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium, Saccharomyces, Streptococcus, Enterococcus, Escherichia and Bacillus.<\/p>\n<p>Not all of the probiotic strains in probiotic supplements have evidence-backed health benefits, so it\u2019s important to read the label carefully before selecting a supplement. The Supplements Facts label on the bottle should list the strain(s) of the probiotic, the total weight of the microorganisms in the product and the number of colony forming units, or CFUs, per serving, according to the National Institutes of Health Office on Dietary Supplements.<\/p>\n<p class=\"cta-builder__title\">Ritual Gut Synbiotic+<\/p>\n<p class=\"cta-builder__desc\">3-in-1 clinically-studied prebiotics, probiotics and postbiotic to support a balanced gut microbiome.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/ritual.sjv.io\/c\/1955282\/1960362\/17139\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"cta-builder__btn cta-builder-button\" data-nofollow=\"true\" data-title=\"Ritual Gut Synbiotic+\" data-description=\"3-in-1 clinically-studied prebiotics, probiotics and postbiotic to support a balanced gut microbiome.\" data-cta-text=\"25% Off With Code FORBES\" data-cta-variation=\"With image\" data-automatic-numbering=\"1\" style=\"background-color:#007AC8\" data-ecom-conversion=\"{&quot;clickText&quot;:&quot;25% Off With Code FORBES&quot;,&quot;clickUrl&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/ritual.sjv.io\\\/c\\\/1955282\\\/1960362\\\/17139&quot;,&quot;partnerName&quot;:&quot;Impact&quot;}\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t25% Off With Code FORBES<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"below-cta-text\">On Ritual&#8217;s Website <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Probiotics are live microorganisms\u2014such as bacteria and yeasts\u2014present in fermented foods, supplements (both over-the-counter and prescription) and even&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":219750,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[45],"tags":[102,6636,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-219749","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nutrition","8":"tag-health","9":"tag-nutrition","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom","12":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/219749","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=219749"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/219749\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/219750"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=219749"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=219749"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=219749"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
