Prebiotics are non-digestible dietary fibers that selectively stimulate the growth and activity of beneficial bacteria in the gut, such as Bifidobacteria and Lactobacilli. Unlike probiotics (live bacteria), prebiotics serve as the “food” for these good microbes, helping to create a balanced intestinal environment and improve overall digestive and immune health.
Common Types of Prebiotics
| Prebiotic Ingredient | Key Functions & Benefits |
|---|---|
| Fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) | Stimulates growth of Bifidobacteria, supports bowel regularity, improves calcium absorption |
| Inulin | Improves gut microbiota balance, enhances mineral absorption, supports satiety & weight management |
| Galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) | Especially beneficial for infants and children, supports immunity and digestive health |
| Resistant Dextrin | Soluble dietary fiber, supports bowel movement, regulates blood sugar, improves lipid metabolism |
