Prebiotics: At the Cutting Edge of Gut Health
Everyone in the wellness world—from doctors to nutritionists to fitness experts—has been talking about the importance of probiotics the last few years. But recently, there’s another topic on the tips of many of their tongues: prebiotics. And it’s for good reason. In the body, prebiotics and probiotics work together to support a healthy gut. Keep reading to learn more about prebiotics and to discover Solaray’s just-launched Mycrobiome™ Prebiotic Powder.
What Are Prebiotics?
Prebiotics are plant compounds that act as a source of food for probiotics (aka good bacteria). The body can’t digest prebiotics, which means they travel to the colon. There, probiotics ferment and use prebiotics as fuel, allowing these beneficial bacteria to thrive and keep helping the body function and feel its best.*
As probiotics break down prebiotics, butyric acid is created. Butyric acid helps strengthen the intestinal lining, and a strong lining helps keeps potentially harmful compounds out of the gut.*†
How Are Prebiotics and Probiotics Different?
As mentioned above, probiotics are living microorganisms naturally found in the human body, with the largest concentration in the gut and known collectively as the gut microbiome. The gut microbiome has been a trending subject for some time now, as scientists are learning more and more about its far-reaching impacts on health. Of course, it plays a role in digestion, but it is also involved in immunity, mood, and well beyond.
To support overall health and well-being, it makes sense, then, to focus on supporting one’s gut in as many ways as possible.
