Probiotics and prebiotics
... & how you can improve your gut health with it
The gut microbiome, a captivating community of trillions of microorganisms residing in your digestive system, plays a vital role in your health. It impacts not just your digestion but also your general well-being. Disruption in this delicate balance can result in numerous health issues, including digestive disorders and a compromised immune system. Probiotics and prebiotics are essential in maintaining and improving the health of your microbiome.
In a nutshell: What are probiotics and prebiotics and what is the difference?
Probiotics are living microorganisms that help your gut to maintain a healthy balance. They supplement your microbiome with beneficial bacteria.
Prebiotics are plant-based food components that serve as “food” for these good bacteria. They promote the growth and activity of the beneficial bacteria in your gut and thus support a balanced and diverse intestinal flora.
Together, probiotics and prebiotics form a perfect symbiosis for your intestinal health!
How probiotics work
Probiotics make their way to the large intestine through various foods or supplements, where they aid your gut microbiome and foster a healthy, diverse range of intestinal flora. They work to balance harmful bacteria, enhance nutrient absorption, boost the immune system, ease digestive issues, and guard against dangerous microorganisms. The particular advantages depend on the bacterial strain involved. One extensively studied strain is Lactobacillus plantarum 299v, which survives the digestive journey to the large intestine, where it can thrive and exert its benefits.
How prebiotics work
Prebiotics are plant-based fibres that remain undigested as they travel to the large intestine, where they nourish beneficial gut bacteria like bifidobacteria and lactobacilli. Examples of these fibres include inulin, fructooligosaccharides, and acacia fibre-. These substances encourage the growth of good bacteria and aid in the creation of key metabolic byproducts. The short-chain fatty acids produced are particularly important and play a crucial role in several functions:
- They reduce the pH level in the intestine, fostering the growth of helpful bacteria while suppressing harmful ones.
- They enhance nutrient absorption in the gut, particularly minerals like calcium and magnesium.
- They provide an energy source for cells in the large intestine.
- They are vital for maintaining the barrier function of the intestinal lining.
- They help support a robust immune system.
