Prebiotics

Prebiotics are non-digestible fibers that serve as food for the beneficial bacteria in your gut, known as probiotics. They essentially act as fuel for these probiotics, helping them thrive and maintain a healthy balance in the gut microbiome.

Prebiotics are important for several reasons:

1. Support Gut Health: Prebiotics promote the growth and activity of beneficial bacteria in the gut, which in turn helps maintain a healthy digestive system. A balanced gut microbiome is associated with improved digestion, nutrient absorption, and overall well-being.
2. Boost Immune Function: The gut microbiome plays a crucial role in regulating the immune system. By promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria, prebiotics indirectly support immune function, helping to defend against pathogens and reduce the risk of infections.
3. Enhance Nutrient Absorption: Prebiotics can improve the absorption of certain nutrients, such as calcium and magnesium, by facilitating their uptake in the gut.
4. Regulate Blood Sugar Levels: Some research suggests that prebiotics may help regulate blood sugar levels by improving insulin sensitivity and reducing inflammation in the body.

Prebiotics are a type of fiber that act as food for the good bacteria in your gut. They can’t be digested by your body, but instead travel to your colon where they are fermented by these beneficial microbes. This fermentation process creates short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) that provide various health benefits.

• Inulin (Helianthus tuberosus)(root): This is a well-known prebiotic fiber that is derived from the roots of the Jerusalem artichoke plant. It is highly fermentable by gut bacteria and promotes the growth of beneficial probiotics.
• Oat Fiber Powder: Oat fiber is another source of prebiotic fiber that supports the growth of beneficial bacteria in the gut.
• Beet Root Powder (Beta vulgaris)(root): Beet root powder contains soluble fibers like pectin, which can act as prebiotics and support gut health.
• Hibiscus Powder (flower): Hibiscus contains a type of soluble fiber called mucilage, which can have prebiotic effects by promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria in the gut.
• Cranberry Powder (Vaccinium macrocarpon L.)(fruit): Cranberries contain oligosaccharides, which are known prebiotics that support the growth of beneficial bacteria in the gut.
• Strawberry Juice Powder (fruit): Strawberries contain dietary fibers like pectin and oligosaccharides, which can act as prebiotics and promote gut health.
• Acai Juice Powder (fruit): Acai berries contain dietary fibers that can act as prebiotics and support the growth of beneficial bacteria in the gut.
• Blueberry Extract (berry): Blueberries contain dietary fibers like pectin, which can act as prebiotics and support gut health.

These ingredients provide a variety of prebiotic fibers that can nourish the beneficial bacteria in the gut, promoting a healthy microbiome and overall well-being.
