Description
What Prebiotics Do
• Feed gut flora: They pass through your upper digestive tract intact and reach the colon, where good bacteria ferment them.
• Produce short-chain fatty acids: Fermentation creates beneficial byproducts like acetate, propionate, and butyrate that support colon health.
• Boost immunity: A thriving microbiome strengthens the gut lining and helps regulate immune responses.
• Improve mineral absorption: They can enhance how your body absorbs calcium and other minerals.
Probiotics are live bacteria and yeasts that provide documented health benefits when consumed or applied to the body. Often called “good” or “friendly” microbes, they support your body’s gut microbiome by helping digest food, maintaining the intestinal barrier, and balancing out harmful bacteria.
What Probiotics Do
• Digestive Relief: Probiotics help manage symptoms IBS (irritable bowel syndrome), bloating, and abdominal pain.
• Diarrhoea Management: They effectively prevent or reduce the duration of antibiotic-associated diarrhoea and infectious diarrhoea.
• Immune Support: By crowding out pathogens and reinforcing the gut lining, they help regulate your body’s immune responses.
• The Gut-Brain Connection: Emerging studies suggest that a balanced microbiome can positively influence mood, stress, and anxiety through chemical signals sent between the gut and brain
