Lactic acid bacteria are microorganisms that exist in fermented foods and produce lactic acid (lactic acid) by breaking down carbohydrates. Lactic acid bacteria are abundant in fermented foods such as kimchi, yogurt, and cheese, and our ancestors have been consuming lactic acid bacteria through fermented foods for a long time.
The term lactic acid bacteria was first used by the French scientist Pasteur in the early 1900s, and the efficacy of lactic acid bacteria began to receive attention in 1908 when the Russian scientist Metchnikov announced the results of a study that the secret to the longevity of the Bulgarian people was the intake of lactic acid bacteria.

๐ฅ How should I take probiotics? ๐ค How to take probiotics
Probiotics can be consumed in various forms. They can be consumed through fermented foods such as yogurt, kimchi, and soybean paste, and they can also be consumed through probiotic supplements. Probiotic supplements are sold in various forms such as powder, capsule, and chewable.
It is recommended to take probiotics on an empty stomach, and since they are sensitive to stomach acid, it is recommended to take them 30 minutes after a meal. Also, you need to take probiotics consistently to see the effects.
๐ Which probiotic product should I choose? ๐ค Recommended probiotic products
There are many different probiotic products on the market, so you may be confused about which product to choose. When choosing a probiotic product, you should carefully check the strain type, guaranteed number of bacteria, and additives. The more strains there are, the better, and the higher the guaranteed number of bacteria, the better. It is best to choose a product with as few additives as possible.
I personally recommend products that contain both lactobacillus and bifidobacteria. Lactobacillus is a beneficial bacteria that is active in the small intestine, and bifidobacteria is a beneficial bacteria that is active in the large intestine. When the two strains work together, they can further enhance the effect of improving intestinal health.
