Did you know Utrition has PRE-Biotics in the base formula of PreTrition and Utrition? Prebiotics vs. Probiotics While PREBIOTICS and PROBIOTICS sound similar, these supplements are very different and have different roles in the digestive system (or gut). PREBIOTIC FIBER is a non-digestible part of foods like bananas, onions and garlic, artichoke, the skin of apples, chicory root, beans, and many others. Prebiotic fiber goes through the small intestine undigested and is fermented when it reaches the large colon. This fermentation process feeds beneficial bacteria colonies (including probiotic bacteria) and helps to increase the number of desirable bacteria in our digestive systems (also called the gut) that are associated with better health and reduced disease risk. PROBIOTICS are live beneficial bacteria that are naturally created by the process of fermentation in foods like yogurt, sauerkraut, miso soup, kimchi, and others. Probiotics are also available in pill form and as an added ingredient in products like yogurt and health drinks. While many types of bacteria are classified as probiotics, most come from two groups: [Laurence 2018] Lactobacillus – the most common probiotic found in yogurt and other fermented foods. Can help with diarrhea and may help with people who can’t digest milk sugar (lactose). Bifidobacterium – also found in some dairy products. May ease symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and related conditions. Naturally present in the large intestine, bifidobacteria fight harmful bacteria in the intestines, prevent constipation and give the immune system a boost. Furthermore, evidence indicates that bifidobacteria help reduce intestinal concentrations of certain carcinogenic enzymes. A helpful metaphor to understand the difference between a prebiotic and a probiotic may be a garden. You can add seeds—the probiotic bacteria—while the prebiotic fiber is the water and fertilizer that helps the seeds to grow and flourish! 🌱 #prebiotics #probiotics #uforia #uforiascience #dnahealth #dnanutrition #telomeres #genevariants #genehealth #guthealth #holistichealth #healthandwellness #supplements #supplementsthatwork Link in bio https://www.instagram.com/p/B5D0rgBgOUf/?igshid=u4ctgis84d3o
