Many bacteria and other organisms live in our bodies. "Friendly" bacteria such as lactobacillus can help us break down food, absorb nutrients, and fight off "unfriendly" organisms that might cause diseases such as diarrhea. It is also in some fermented foods like yogurt and in dietary supplements.

Lactobacilli are used therapeutically as probiotics, the opposite of antibiotics. They are considered "friendly" bacteria and are taken for the purpose of re-colonizing areas of the body where they normally would occur. The human body relies on the normal flora for several functions including metabolizing foods and certain drugs, absorbing nutrients, and preventing colonization by pathogenic bacteria. Lactobacilli seem to provide nutritional benefits including inducing growth factors and increasing the bioavailability of minerals.

Probiotics such as lactobacillus are typically used in cases when a disease occurs or might occur due to depleted normal flora. °@For example, treatment with antibiotics can kill off pathogenic bacteria and also the normal flora of the gastrointestinal and genitourinary tracts. Altering the normal flora allows for potential colonization by pathogenic organisms, which can result in side effects such as diarrhea, cramping, and less commonly pseudomembranous colitis caused by Clostridium difficile.

Probiotic strains may also differ in specific metabolic activities, and not all lactobacilli species inhibit a wide range of pathogenic bacteria. Some researchers theorize that probiotic preparations containing several species might offer more benefit than a single species. Grand Health Lactocin has combined 3 different types of Lactobacilli to provide 2 billions of active Lactobacilli. With the addition of oligosaccharides which acts as ³food² to lactobacillis, to help them colonize in the gastrointestinal and genitourinary tracts.
