Ingredients for gut health
Across categories, consumers are seeking out prebiotic and probiotic ingredients in an effort to balance the microbiome and improve their gut health. Our prebiotics and probiotics are science-backed ingredients designed with wellness in mind.
Prebiotics
Prebiotics are a form of non-digestible fibre that feed good gut bacteria. In this way, prebiotics contribute to overall gut health.
Probiotics
Probiotics are live microorganisms that, when ingested in adequate amounts, can confer a health benefit. Some probiotics improve gut health by maintaining a balance of good and bad bacteria while others may help to support immune health.
Prebiotics vs. probiotics
Origins
Prebiotics are found in some plants; probiotics naturally occur in products such as yogurt. Both can be added to a variety of foods and beverages.
Symbiosis
Prebiotics pass from the stomach to the gut, where they feed probiotics and other good gut bacteria.
Stability
Prebiotics are food components, and tend to be resilient. Because probiotics are alive, it's important to work with a strain such as BC30, which can sustain manufacturing processes.
