What’s the difference between antibiotics and probiotics?
An antibiotic (or “against life”) is a chemical compound that slows or prevents the growth of microorganisms, such as bacteria. Probiotics (or “for life”) are dietary supplements containing potentially beneficial bacteria. You’ve probably had a doctor prescribe an antibiotic when you were sick. Antibiotics kill all the bad bacteria in your system which made you sick. However, it also kills the good bacteria. It is essential to replenish the good bacteria as soon as possible to keep your digestive and immune systems working properly.
