Probiotics and prebiotics can get complicated! We’re here to make it easy for you.
Prebiotics are a type of fiber that the human body cannot digest [1]. They serve as food for probiotics, which are tiny living microorganisms, including bacteria and yeast. Both prebiotics and probiotics may support helpful bacteria and other organisms in the gut [1].
Benefits of probiotics include: improved gut health, improved immune system, boosting mental health, and lowering blood pressure [2]. Benefits of prebiotics include: enhancing mineral absorption, encouraging normal blood sugar levels, aiding weight loss, and boosting bone health [2].
Getting your daily dose of fiber and taking a probiotic are two of the best things you can do for a healthy gut.
Pulp Pantry's Pulp Chips are loaded with healthy prebiotic fibers. Combined with The Visual Veggies probiotic Miso Hummus Recipe (below), and Daily Nouri's probiotic and plant based omega oil, and you are ready to roll for the day!
