Description
QUICK SUMMARY
Fermented Probiotics is a complementary feed for dogs and cats featuring a water kefir complex and chicory inulin. This supplement is formulated for a balanced intestinal flora.
What’s in this supplement?
Each 400 mg capsule contains a fermented complex of yeasts and bacteria from water kefir, with 1 million microorganisms per mg, and 210 mg chicory inulin. The shell is an enteric-coated capsule.
What does Fermented Probiotics do?
Fermented Probiotics is formulated for a balanced intestinal flora. It contains a whole community of yeasts and bacteria from water kefir, with inulin as nourishment.
The biochemistry per ingredient
Water kefir
Water kefir is created by fermenting sugar water with kefir grains. These grains consist of lactic acid bacteria, acetic acid bacteria, and yeasts living together. The yeasts, for example, provide nutrients for the lactic acid bacteria.
Fermentation
The microorganisms convert sugars into lactic acid and acetic acid, among other things. This means the capsule contains an entire community, rather than just a few isolated strains.
Chicory inulin
Inulin is a chain of fructose units from chicory root. Dogs and cats do not digest this themselves, but intestinal bacteria do ferment it.
How strong is this evidence? The microbiology of water kefir is well-described. Research into its effects is limited, and specific data for dogs and cats is largely lacking.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference compared to a regular probiotic?
