Background
A description of the experience
The term probiotic is currently used to name ingested microorganisms associated with benefits for humans and animals. The term came into more common use after 1980. The introduction of the concept is generally attributed to Nobel laureate Élie Metchnikoff, who postulated that yogurt-consuming Bulgarian peasants lived longer lives because of this custom. He suggested in 1907 that "the dependence of the intestinal microbes on the food makes it possible to adopt measures to modify the flora in our bodies and to replace the harmful microbes by useful microbes". A significant expansion of the potential market for probiotics has led to 'higher requirements for scientific substantiation of putative benefits conferred by the microorganisms'.
Probiotics are or should be food based products, but the pharmaceutical companies have now entered the market with pills or medicines simply containing bacteria, often only one - in overdose proportions. "Probiotics have the active ingredient of bifidobacteria." The end result is shown below:
