Most probiotics on the market are bacterial, primarily lactobacillus, which is a lactic acid bacteria that lives normally in the body. It can be found in dietary supplements and fermented foods like yogurt, ke�r, kimchi, and sauerkraut.

The yeast Saccharomyces boulardii is the #1 probiotic worldwide*1 and is tough enough to withstand harsh stomach acids, bile, and pancreatic juices. It can be found naturally on the skin of tropical fruit.
