With gut health such a priority these days (and with good reason), more and more people are turning to probiotics, whether that’s in the form of foods like yoghurt and kombucha, or probiotic supplements.

But if you’ve ever tried shopping for probiotic supplements, you may have been overwhelmed by the options — how many millions of CFUs (what are they, anyway?) and which long-worded, unpronounceable strains do we need?

With help from dietitians and a pharmacist, here is everything you should to know about probiotics and probiotic supplements.

What are probiotics?

“Probiotics are live ‘friendly bacteria’ that are good for our health, especially our digestive system,” Anna Debenham, accredited practising dietitian from The Biting Truth, told HuffPost Australia.

“They are naturally found in our body, but can also be found in some foods and supplements we eat. They act to reduce the number of harmful bacteria in the gut, thereby improving our overall health.”

Probiotics help our bodies in a number of different ways:

  • Enhance immune function
  • Increase resistance to infection
  • Help prevent diarrhoea resulting from antibiotic therapy
  • Improve digestion and bowel movements
  • Help protect against disease
  • May assist with weight maintenance
