Probiotics drugsProbiotic foodProbiotic products are functional foods that contain live microorganisms that are beneficial to humans. The first probiotic product was acidophilus milk, which helped to develop a greater tolerance to milk in those who had difficulty digesting it. Most commercially available probiotic products are partially fermented. Probiotics are mainly found in dairy products, such as liquid milk and yogurt. The two main types of probiotic bacteria are lactobacilli and bifidobacteria; they are found in lactic acid bacteria and fermented (soured) dairy products. More than 70% of products on the market today that contain lactic acid bacteria can be considered probiotic. This category includes sour cream, yogurt, buttermilk, kefir, frozen desserts, etc. Traditionally, probiotics are taken with yogurt, but recently probiotic drinks, capsules, tablets, and powders have been produced. Products containing probiotic bacteria:
- Some types of soft cheese

- Some types of pickles

According to research, the average American spending on probiotic supplements has tripled since 2003.

They are made and stored in such a way that the bacteria retain their effect in a dry form and enter the gastrointestinal tract alive. Probiotic supplements must also contain the right amount of liquid to ensure maximum effect. Various forms of lactobacilli and bifidobacteria are used in the production of probiotic supplements. Probiotic supplements improve health, prevent urinary tract infections in women, diarrhea caused by ami, and improve immunity in children. Dosage of supplements depends on the number of live organisms contained in the product. Probiotic supplements are available in both grocery stores and pharmacies.
