Pro mean with: and bio means life. Probiotics help the GI system digest food. Anti means against. So, if one takes excessive antibiotics (which are sometimes needed) they can kill off the good bacteria in our GI systems and we can have digestive problems. This can happen w/out antibiotics at times too. So, the probiotics replace the good bacteria that are missing or low. Look for most strains per bottle.

Yogurt: There are many different probiotics available but they basically just lactobacillus bacteria that you get from eating live yogurt like Activia
