What are Some Different Probiotic Strains?
Probiotic strains are different species or variants. Different strains offer specific benefits. By definition, probiotics are good bacteria that benefit your health. The most common benefits are immune health, regularity and digestion, but the perks of probiotics go far beyond your digestive system, too!
Like animals and plants, probiotics are named by genus and species. Three of the most common genuses are: Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium and Saccharomyces.
