Organic prebiotic

Prebiotics are non-digestible food components that promote the growth and activity of probiotic bacteria in the gut. These substances have various positive effects on intestinal health and indirectly influence the health of the entire body. Here are some reasons why the body needs prebiotics.

Promote intestinal health

• Growth of probiotic bacteria - Prebiotics serve as food for probiotic bacteria in the intestine, particularly bifidobacteria and lactobacilli. These bacteria are responsible for maintaining healthy intestinal flora and displacing potentially harmful bacteria.

• Maintaining the intestinal barrier - A balanced intestinal flora, supported by prebiotics, contributes to the integrity of the intestinal barrier, which is important for preventing leakage and inflammation in the intestine.

Improve digestion

• Promote bowel movements - Prebiotics can promote bowel movement regularity and help prevent constipation.

• Fermentation - Prebiotics are fermented by the bacteria in the colon, producing short-chain fatty acids. These fatty acids support intestinal health and can serve as an energy source for intestinal cells.

Immune system support

• Strengthening the immune system - Healthy intestinal flora, promoted by prebiotics, can improve immune system function and help defend against pathogens.

Regulation of blood sugar levels

• Blood sugar regulation - There is evidence that prebiotics can help regulate blood sugar levels, which may be particularly important for people with diabetes.

Supporting weight regulation

• Weight management - Prebiotics can help promote satiety and regulate nutrient absorption, which can have positive effects on weight management.

Impact on mental health

• Gut-brain axis - There are emerging areas of research suggesting that gut health and gut flora composition may have an impact on mental health. Prebiotics could play a role in this context.
