probiotic

Type: Concept

As of November 2026, probiotic has been mentioned in one podcast episode on Gary Brecka (Jan 2023).

Probiotics are live microorganisms that are intended to support or improve the health and wellbeing of a host organism. They are commonly used in both humans and animals. Although the term refers to the microorganisms themselves, probiotics can be consumed through a range of products including yogurt, cheese, certain fermented foods, as well as capsules containing a single strain or a defined mixture of strains.
