Probiotic : Curd or Yoghurt is lactic fermentation of milk. Micro-organisms responsible for fermenting milk are now known as “Probiotics”. Probiotics are live microorganisms or bacteria that are similar to beneficial microorganisms found in the human gut. They are also called "friendly bacteria" or "good bacteria.” In commercial brands that are labeled specifically as probiotic, the strength of bacteria is high, so at least some of it is likely to reach the gut.
