Abstract	Probiotics are living bacteria that are good for our health, especially our digestive system. They are frequently referred to as "good bacteria" since they contribute to the maintenance of a healthy balance of microorganisms in our gut. Probiotics have been known for centuries, although the term "probiotic" was coined in the twentieth century. A scientist named Elie Metchnikoff is credited with introducing Probiotics as we know them today. The number of probiotics in food varies based on the meal, the fermentation technique, and the bacteria strains utilized. Here are some common probiotic-rich foods and their approximate probiotic amounts: Fermented foods have been consumed for their preservation characteristics and health advantages since ancient times. Fermentation was practiced by ancient civilizations such as Mesopotamia, Egypt, India, and China. Ancient Egyptians, for example, employed fermented milk products to treat digestive disorders. Probiotics' involvement in supporting gut health and controlling digestive illnesses such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and diarrhea have been widely researched. Recent research has looked at specific probiotic strains and combinations in certain illnesses, proving their ability to reduce symptoms and enhance the quality of life. Probiotics' involvement in supporting gut health and controlling digestive illnesses such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and diarrhea have been widely researched. Recent research has looked at specific probiotic strains and combinations in certain illnesses, proving their ability to reduce symptoms and enhance the quality of life. Probiotic scientific guidelines differ based on the organization or nation offering the advice. Here are some suggestions and recommendations from credible scientific and medical institutions: World Health Organisation (WHO) and United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO): The WHO and FAO issued recommendations together in 2002, which were revised in 2018. The recommendations provide forth broad concepts for assessing the safety and efficacy of probiotics, as well as requirements for strain identification, manufacturing, and labeling. They also emphasize the importance of scientific research to back up health claims.
