Our cultures are probiotic!
Probiotics are live microorganisms thought to be healthy for people. According to the currently adopted definition by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the World Health Organization (WHO), probiotics are:
"Live microorganisms which when administered in adequate amounts confer a health benefit on the host"
According to the Harvard Medical School:
"Clinical studies have established that probiotic therapy can help treat several gastrointestinal ills, delay the development of allergies in children"
