Overview

Discover the many ways probiotics can transform your health, beauty, and overall wellness in this informative new guide.

Probiotics—good bacteria found in fermented foods and supplements—are the newest health craze, and for good reason. Recent medical studies continue to reveal how probiotics improve gut health and contribute to overall wellness. Their antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties can help combat chronic disease, including heart disease, certain types of cancers, and irritable bowel syndrome. They also provide all-natural relief for common ailments like allergies, flu, colds, urinary tract infections, and yeast infections. They are also effective beauty aids, and can be used for many things from fighting acne to healing dandruff.

With Probiotics for Health, you will discover all the benefits that these good bacteria can bring from weight loss to better skin to a better immune system—without dangerous chemicals or costly procedures.
