These good bacteria can be taken as a probiotic supplement.f you could count all the bacteria in your gut, you would find that they outnumber the total number of cells in your body by a large number. The cells that make up your body (heart, liver, bone, and brain cells) add up to around 10 13 cells (10,000,000,000,000).
