3 minutes

Key takeaways

  • Probiotics are live microorganisms that help maintain a healthy balance of bacteria in the body, especially in the gut.
  • The relationship between probiotics and maintaining women’s wellness continues to unfold through scientific exploration.

In the realm of women's health, there's a growing buzz about probiotics – those tiny, live bacteria that hold the promise of maintaining our overall well-being.

 

Discovering probiotics: Maintaining women's wellness 

We’re exploring the growing body of research around probiotics and women's health. Our gut, a symphony of trillions of microorganisms, is home to a delicate balance of bacteria, known as the gut microbiome.

Probiotics are live microorganisms that make up part of the gut microbiome. They are naturally found in the human body, and in low amounts of certain foods and drinks.  

They are part of the diverse microbial world that exists in our environment. These microorganisms contribute to the natural balance of different ecosystems, including those within the human body. 

Women encounter different changes throughout life, and probiotics are a natural part of this journey.  

They are present in everyday foods and now even in some personal care products, offering a way to support the body’s natural microbial diversity.  

From diet to lifestyle choices, incorporating probiotics can be a simple way to maintain balance with the body’s rhythms. Whether through fermented foods or supplementation, probiotics are an easy addition to daily routines.
