Probiotics are beneficial bacteria that support digestive health and immune function. While traditional Asian diets often include fermented foods like kimchi, miso, and tempeh, modern eating habits may reduce natural probiotic intake.
Supplementation can help restore gut balance, especially for individuals experiencing digestive issues or after antibiotic use.
Different probiotic strains offer different benefits, so choosing the right formulation is important.
