Herbal probiotics: it refers to herbal probiotics extracted from plants, which are compounded by a variety of strains with Lactobacillus plantarum as the core and a variety of Chinese herbal medicines, and are often called plant-derived probiotics.

Probiotics can be divided into herbal probiotics according to their culture sources, namely plant-derived probiotics and animal-derived probiotics.

Herbal probiotics are composed of multiple probiotics and multiple Chinese herbal medicines. Chinese herbal medicine not only exerts its own functions (such as strengthening the spleen and regulating the stomach), but also promotes the reproduction and growth of probiotics, further enhancing the activity and efficacy of herbal probiotics.

For example, ChinaNo. 1 Herb Probiotic: Zhen Ji Herb Probiotic is a compound of four kinds of probiotics (Lactobacillus plantarum 550, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus rhamnosus) and four kinds of Chinese herbal medicines (Glycyrrhiza uralensis, Lentilus, Ginseng and Poria).

Herbal probiotics are more in line with the intestinal structure characteristics and eating habits of Asians and China people.

In the west, probiotics mainly come from animals, while in Asia and China, people mainly eat rice, noodles, beans and vegetables, supplemented by fish, pigs, ducks and chickens.

Therefore, herbal probiotics are more suitable for people in Asia and China.
