A probiotic is a microorganism known to be friendly and beneficial to its host when consumed. In today's time, probiotics are a very popular subject of research among scientists and pharmaceutical companies. Due to the over consumption of antibiotics, the normal micro flora of body does not survive. The spores obtained from pharmaceuticals are not good in taste, so generally children avoid eating them, hence we have made the probiotic chocolate. It is better to eat chocolate than medicine.
