What is a prebiotic?

Prebiotics are undigestible, fiber-rich carbohydrates that help healthy bacteria grow in your gut.

Digestive Health

Prebiotics promote the growth of beneficial bacteria and help to alleviate gut-related health problems such as constipation.

Reduces Inflammation

Due to their pathogenic-reducing properties, prebiotics have been shown to reduce the risk of gastroenteritis and inflammatory infections.

Hormonal Balance

Prebiotics also relieve constipation, which is especially important for hormonal balance. When our bacteria are in balance, we have less diarrhea and constipation.

Immune Health

Prebiotics not only feed good bacteria, but they also stimulate lymphoid tissues in the gut. This mechanism may have anti-disease effects.

Mental Health

The effects of prebiotics on the gut microbiome influence the Central Nervous System and may be a natural treatment for depression and anxiety disorders.

Diabetes

Prebiotics help to balance blood sugar and improve insulin sensitivity.

Nutrient Absorption

Prebiotics support better nutrient digestion and absorption by enhancing the bacterial and acidic environment in the gut.

Cancer Protection

Prebiotics are essential for a healthy colon. This lowered the risk of colon cancer.

Weight Loss

The combination of probiotics and prebiotics may aid in weight loss and fat loss in people who are overweight or obese.
