Probiotics are basically live micro-organisms which help in improving the digestive system and indirectly our immune system. These are actual live micro-organisms which are popularly called as good bacteria like the one you have in curd. Our digestive system normally has good bacteria and bad bacteria both who maintain the correct balance between themselves which is necessary for our good health Factors like our irregular and unhealthy diet, urban lifestyle, diseases and the antibiotics you take to cure those diseases disturb this balance. It is basically the deficiency of good bacteria that causes the problem. So in order to balance it we need to take some external bacteria’s through these products.

These drinks improve our digestive and immune system and helps in many things like protecting from diarrhoea to constipation. When the balance is correct our digestive tract absorbs all the vital nutrients and eliminates harmful bacteria, toxins and chemicals.
