What is Prebiotics?
Prebiotics are a type of non-digestible dietary fiber that serve as substrates for beneficial gut microorganisms. They are commonly used in dietary supplements formulated for gut health and immune system support. Prebiotics are included in various product formats such as powders, capsules, and functional foods. Typical sources include inulin, fructooligosaccharides (FOS), and galactooligosaccharides (GOS). These ingredients are often combined with probiotics or other digestive health components to complement gut microbiota management in supplement formulations.
