🤔 Probiotics vs Prebiotics: What's the Difference?

Understanding how probiotics and prebiotics support gut health can make all the difference in how we care for our digestive system. Here’s a breakdown:

🔹 Probiotics: Live beneficial bacteria that help balance the gut microbiome. They can aid digestion, boost immunity, and improve overall gut health.
Found in: Yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut, kombucha, and probiotic supplements.

🔸 Prebiotics: Non-digestible fibres that feed the good bacteria in your gut, promoting a healthy gut environment and enhancing the effects of probiotics.
Found in: Bananas, onions, garlic, leeks, and whole grains.

💡 Both are essential for gut health, but while probiotics add good bacteria, prebiotics feed and support them. Consider pairing the two for optimal digestive health!

Need help choosing the right probiotic or prebiotic for you? Ask your local Bush Chemist pharmacist today!
