The Gut Health Trio You Should Know
Your gut has a whole ecosystem working behind the scenes including prebiotics, probiotics and postbiotics. Each “biotics” play a different role in supporting your gut. Let’s break down the differences.
Prebiotics
Feed the good guys
Prebiotics are types of fibres that serve as food for beneficial bacteria in your gut.
For example:
- Inulin
- Fructooligosaccharides (FOS)
- Galactooligosaccharides (GOS)

Probiotics
Bring in the good guys
Probiotics are live microorganisms that, when consumed in adequate amounts, can provide health benefits.
For example:
- Lactobacillus Rhamnosus GG™
- Bifidobacterium Lactis HN019™
- Lacticaseibacillus Paracasei LPC-37™
Postbiotics
What the good guys make
Postbiotics are beneficial metabolic byproducts produced by probiotics during fermentation.
For example:
- Short-chain fatty acids
- Cell wall components
- Metabolites and proteins
- Bacteriocins
These provide beneficial results in overall health!
