How it works

Probiotics are a range of different microorganisms, so each probiotic may work differently. They can affect the immune system, help one’s body have a normal level of gut microorganisms, or even produce compounds beneficial for the body. Probiotics can have immunomodulatory, antioxidant, and antiviral effects. They can improve cognitive function, reduce physical and mental fatigue, regulate brain health, improve sleep quality, and boost mood.
