probiotic cultures
Beneficial digestive microbes
Probiotic cultures are live microorganisms—typically bacteria or yeasts—that confer health benefits when consumed.
Found in yogurt, kefir, and fermented foods, or taken as supplements, they're believed to support digestive health and immune function: The label lists five probiotic cultures including lactobacillus.
The term emphasizes that these are living, active organisms rather than dead or inactive ones.
