There are many benefits to taking probiotics, including preventing constipation. Probiotics can help to maintain a healthy balance of bacteria in the gut by producing substances which inhibit harmful bacteria from growing. They also produce substances that stimulate the growth of helpful bacteria, so they can quickly take up residence when someone is sick or has taken antibiotics for example.
