Probiotics are the beneficial bacteria that live in your digestive tract. Your digestive tract is home to more that 500 different species of bacteria; 80% are good bacteria and 20% are bad bacteria. There are literally trillions of individual bacteria residing in the digestive tract, with the majority of the population living in the large intestine. The two most prevalent probiotics are Lactobacillus, which make up the majority of the probiotics living in your small intestine, and Bifidobacteria, the most prevalent probiotic living in your large intestine.
