Probiotics

Probiotics are live yeast or bacteria naturally occurring in food that are good for your digestion and for your GUT. According to a study, there are approximately 300 trillion bacteria living inside your body. Whenever you get an infection, it is a sign that bad bacteria are affecting your system out of balance. At this point of time, good bacteria helps in eliminating those bad ones and maintains the balance of good bacteria again.

Prebiotics

Prebiotics are a type of dietary fibre that humans cannot digest but the gut bacteria can. Prebiotic is a source of food for your gut’s friendly bacteria (probiotic). The good bacteria in the large intestine eat this food and flourishes. Good bacteria multiply and win over the bad bacteria (disease causing). This also allows your gut bacteria to produce nutrients for your colon cells, which helps in healthy digestion.
