Everyone has bacteria in their gut – both 'good' and 'bad'. A healthy balance of good and bad bacteria is needed to help the body's natural defences fight off infection and stay healthy.
However today's lifestyle is not conducive to achieving this harmony. The hectic balance of work and play, irregular eating habits, stress and even medicines combine to make more and more demands on our digestive system.

Prebiotics promote the growth of the body's friendly bacteria that already exist in the gut. Therefore, the good work is done from within.
In contrast, probiotics are living bacteria added to food that then pass through the digestive system, to help top up the
body's own supply. Of course, there is a risk that the probiotic benefit will be lost during this process, minimising its impact. |
