WHY are probiotics useful? Probiotics are bacteria that are proven to benefit the human body. The most common probiotics are lacto- and bifidobacteria. Other microorganisms can also be classified as probiotics, such as the yeast Saccharomyces boulardii. In the human gut, probiotics compete with harmful bacteria, suppress their growth and maintain the protective barrier of the intestinal walls. In this way, they reduce the likelihood of inflammation.
