Prebiotic Supplements

Prebiotic Supplements are believed to promote good digestive health. Prebiotics are non-digestible and non-absorbable foods that promote the growth and/or activity of the beneficial probiotic bacteria in the intestinal tract. As a result, prebiotic ingredients also contribute to the health of the intestinal system by way of keeping probiotic organisms alive and well. Inulin and oligofructose?soluble fibers naturally found in a variety of fruits and vegetables such as bananas, yams, chicory root, garlic and leeks?have been classified as prebiotic ingredients based on their ability to resist digestion and absorption in the digestive tract and promote the growth of friendly bacteria. Individuals who may limit their intake of soluble fibers can choose a supplement that contains prebiotic ingredients.
