This supplement helps with:<\/strong> the recovery of the intestinal flora after antibiotics or deworming, a restless bowel, fluctuating stools and as daily support for a healthy microbiome.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

How does Prebiotic Fibers work?<\/h2>\n

Prebiotics are fermentable fibers that serve as food for the beneficial bacteria already present in the gut. Unlike probiotics, which add live bacteria, prebiotics stimulate the growth of the existing microbiome. The more varied the prebiotic supply, the more different bacterial strains are fed and the more robust the microbiome that emerges. <\/p>\n

Prebiotic Fibers contains five carefully selected prebiotic groups. Inulin and FOS (fructooligosaccharides) from chicory root primarily stimulate Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus and are the best-researched prebiotic fibers for microbiome building. Acacia fiber arabinogalactans feed a broader spectrum of bacteria including butyrate-producing species, which are essential for the intestinal barrier and local immune system. MOS (mannan-oligosaccharides) from Saccharomyces boulardii have a direct antimicrobial effect by binding to pathogenic bacteria and blocking their adhesion to the intestinal wall, while at the same time selectively stimulating beneficial bacteria. Beta-glucans from the mushroom Agaricus blazei are polysaccharides with both prebiotic and immune-modulating properties via activation of macrophages and natural killer cells. <\/p>\n

Butyrate, the short-chain fatty acid produced during fermentation of these fibers, is the primary source of energy for colonocytes and a direct modulator of tight junction expression and intestinal immune function. A microbiome that produces enough butyrate has a stronger gut barrier, less systemic inflammation, and a better response to dietary antigens. Prebiotic Fibers is particularly suitable after antibiotics or deworming and as part of the Intestinal Protocol and Giardia Protocol. <\/p>\n
