The Complete Prebiotic & Probiotic Health Guide

Did you know that the gut contains over 100 trillion bacteria? We have 10 times as many bacteria in our gut as we have total number of human cells in our entire body! In recent years there’s been a great deal of research exploring the relationship between a healthy gut and overall health. A healthy balance of good bacteria plays a huge role in disease prevention and treatment. Prebiotics and probiotics are vitally important when it comes to maintaining a healthy gut and optimal health and wellness. Prebiotics are non-digestible carbohydrates that act as “food” for probiotics. Prebiotics help probiotics grow and remain in your digestive system. Probiotics are healthy bacteria that naturally live and flourish in the colon. From a poor diet to overuse of antibiotics, there are many health and lifestyle choices that can seriously compromise healthy levels of both prebiotics and probiotics.
