What are probiotics?
Probiotics are live microorganisms, mainly bacteria and sometimes yeasts, that occur naturally in certain foods. They are similar to the bacteria that live naturally in our intestines and support a balanced intestinal flora.
Our digestive system contains billions of bacteria – together they are known as the microbiome. This ecosystem of microorganisms is unique to each individual and can be affected by various factors such as diet, lifestyle, stress and environmental factors. A diverse and balanced gut flora can have a positive impact on health.
What are probiotics found in?
Probiotics can be found in foods. The following are some examples of foods that are naturally rich in probiotics:
- Yogurt: Fermented milk products such as yogurt often contain bacteria such as Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium.
- Kefir: This drink is made by fermenting milk with kefir grains, a mixture of bacteria and yeasts. It is similar to yogurt, but usually thinner in texture.
- Sauerkraut and kimchi: These fermented vegetables naturally contain different types of bacteria. Traditional preparations without heating often preserve live cultures.
- Kombucha: A fermented tea that contains yeasts and bacteria. It is popular for its fresh, slightly sour taste and can vary in composition depending on the fermentation process.
- Miso and tempeh: Fermented soy products from Asian cuisine that are not only a source of protein, but also microorganisms created during the fermentation process.
In addition to food, probiotic supplements are also available. These offer a practical way to incorporate probiotics into your daily routine, especially if you have a busy schedule or do not regularly consume fermented products.

- Supports energy levels
