Probiotics preparationsProbiotic foodProbiotic foods are functional foods that contain living microorganisms useful to humans. The first probiotic product can be considered milk with acidophilus, which helped to develop a greater tolerance of milk in those who do not digest this product. Most of the probiotic products that are commercially available are partially fermented. In general, probiotics contain dairy products, for example, liquid milk and yogurt. Two main types of probiotic bacteria: lactobacilli and bifidobacteria; they are part of the milk-acid bacteria and fermented (sour) dairy products. More than 70% of products in the modern market, containing lactic acid bacteria, can be considered probiotic. This category includes sour cream, yoghurt, buttermilk, kefir, frozen desserts, etc. Traditionally, probiotics are taken with yogurt, but recently they began to produce probiotic drinks, capsules, tablets and powders. Products containing probiotic bacteria:
- Some types of soft cheese
- Miso soup
- Some dairy products, for example, yogurt, kefir, etc.
- Some types of pickles
- Tempe - sugared soybean
- Buttermilk and other sour products
Probiotic Supplements Probiotic Supplementsare actively taking over store shelves - more actively than other forms of probiotic products. According to research, on average, American spending on probiotic supplements has tripled since 2003. Probiotic supplements come in a huge variety of forms: capsules, tablets, powders, beverages and foods. They are made and stored in such a way that the bacteria retain their action in dry form and enter the gastrointestinal tract alive. Probiotic supplements should also contain just the right amount of liquid for maximum benefits. Various forms of lactobacilli and bifidobacteria are used in the production of probiotic supplements. Probiotic supplements improve health, prevent infections of the genitourinary system in women, diarrhea-induced diarrhea, and improve immunity in children. The dosage of additives depends on the amount of living organisms contained in the product. Probiotic supplements can be purchased at both grocery stores and pharmacies. 
Probiotic acidophilus Probiotic acidophilus -a natural antibiotic that helps to improve digestion, stimulates the production of vitamin B and reduces the risk of colon cancer. Of the millions of bacteria that live in the digestive system, many are useful, the most useful of them is acidophilus. The acidophilus helps:
- Regulate the level of cholesterol in the blood.
- Stimulate the production of a wide range of B-group vitamins, including folic acid, niacin, biotin, B5, B6 and B12.
- It shows the properties of a natural antibiotic, reducing the production of "bad" bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract and infections of the respiratory, intestinal and urogenital tracts.
