What is the difference between Probiotics, Prebiotics and Postbiotics?Updated 9 days ago

We know the gut health world can be confusing, so here’s a simple guide to help you understand the difference:

• Probiotics are the live beneficial microbes (or ‘good bacteria’) that make up part of your gut microbiome and help support your digestive and immune health.

• Prebiotics are the food that feeds these beneficial microbes, helping them thrive and outcompete disruptive microbes. Dietary fibres like those found in fruits, vegetables, and supplements such as PHGG (found in True Biome) act as prebiotics.

• Postbiotics are the helpful compounds produced by probiotics as they break down prebiotics in your gut. These compounds support various functions in your body, including immune health and gut barrier strength.

Together, these three work in harmony to maintain a healthy and balanced gut ecosystem.
