The Differences Between Prebiotics, Probiotics, and Postbiotics
Published 2 months ago
Description
- The relationship between prebiotics, probiotics and postbiotics is symbiotic, meaning they work together to support and maintain optimal gut health
- Prebiotics are nondigestible food components that promote the growth and activity of beneficial microorganisms in your intestines
- Probiotics are live beneficial bacteria that directly contribute to maintaining a healthy gut microbiome
- Postbiotics are bioactive compounds produced when your body digests prebiotics and probiotics; they're also produced during the fermentation process
- Prebiotics fuel the growth of probiotics, which in turn produce postbiotics that offer additional health benefits
