Types Of ProbioticsThere are several main types of probiotics with Lactobacillus acidophilus being possibly the most well known. They come from the Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium, Saccharomyces and Streptococcus families with one or two less well known individuals from other families. Certainly those first four families of bacteria are the ones that the majority of medical trials and studies have been done on. TYPES OF PROBIOTICS
These are the types of probiotics to check are within your supplement. However that is not the end of it. Probiotics must be defined by strain as well as family. The World Health Organization define probiotics as live micro-organisms which when administered in adequate amounts confer a health benefit on the host. Only specific strains within each of those families listed are probiotic. For example, not all strains of Lactobacillus acidophilus are probiotic. So ensure that on your supplement the bacteria are listed by strain as well as family. REFERENCES Gupta V, Garg R. Probiotics.
