People who have digestive problems may benefit from consuming probiotics. Many digestive problems are caused by an imbalance or lack of healthy gut bacteria. Probiotics replenish this store of bacteria, bringing the digestive tract back to normal.
The second group of people who would most benefit from drinking probiotic smoothies are those who are taking antibiotics. Antibiotics are a great scientific tool used to treat a wide range of bacterial problems and infections. The problem with antibiotics is that they do not discriminate between good and bad bacteria. Antibiotics will kill off all types of bacteria.
