Prebiotics

You’ve heard of probiotics, but what are prebiotics?

Prebiotics are fibers that do not get digested in your body — and that’s a good thing! They pass through your stomach and intestines without being broken down or absorbed. Along the way, prebiotics act as “food” for the probiotics in your GI tract to help your gut stay strong and healthy. Once the prebiotics reach your colon, they are fermented into beneficial gastrointestinal bacteria. 

We know — it sounds unpleasant, but the best prebiotics are so beneficial for your body! Boosting your intake of prebiotic supplements (paired with probiotics) helps more than just your digestive system!

• Strengthens gut health*
• Supports a healthy immune system*
• Balances hormones*
• Increases cardiovascular health*
• Helps maintain a healthy weight*
• May help manage symptoms of chronic conditions*

Wondering if you have enough prebiotic fiber in your diet? While some foods do contain prebiotics (like leeks and garlic), most American’s diets are sorely lacking in healthy prebiotics. A deficiency of prebiotics can contribute to any of the following:

• Indigestion and digestive discomfort*
• Frequent sickness*
• Unexplained weight gain*
• Additional chronic conditions*

Reverse those deficiencies with a prebiotic fiber supplement from The Healthy Place!
