According to Food and agriculture organisation of United Nations (UN) probiotics are live microorganisms which on administering in proper amount produces useful effects to the host when consumed orally. Probiotics were found to effectively influence the host by enhancing their microbial balance of intestine, thus suppressing pathogens and toxin forming bacteria.
