Probiotics are non-digestible fibrous components in the diet that serve as a food source for beneficial bacteria (gut microbiota) in the gut. Probiotics supplements are present in high fibre foods and enhance the production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs). These dietary fibres allow the gut microbiome to flourish.
Prebiotic fibre improves gut health, complements fermented foods and enhances immunity, cognitive functions and even mood. These supplements are sold with many health claims. Buy these supplements from Welzo to see their transformative benefits.
Are dietary fibres important for digestive health and the immune system?
Prebiotics are becoming increasingly popular. They enhance both physical and mental health. A recent study published by the International Journal of Probiotics and Prebiotics reported that prebiotic supplementation increases the population of friendly gut bacteria such as Bifidobacter by as much as 10-fold.
Likewise, the British Nutrition Foundation has reported that fibre supplements have prebiotic properties that selectively enhance the growth of useful bacteria in the gut. They improve digestion, immunity and metabolic functions.
Health benefits of prebiotics for gut health?
Our prebiotics promise many health benefits. Such as,
- They improve the growth of gut flora. They improve the gut environment and prevent digestive issues such as diarrhoea, constipation and bloating.
- They control the production of stomach acids.
- They regulate immune responses and reduce inflammation.
-
They enhance calcium absorption and absorption of other key minerals, such as magnesium.
-
They improve gut-brain connection (gut-brain axis) and thus positively influence cognitive functions and mood.

FAQs
What are the best prebiotic foods for digestive health for overweight and obese adults?
The best foods with insoluble and soluble fibre that support gut health are whole grains, asparagus, soybeans, bananas, onions and garlic. So, increase your prebiotic intake to experience their beneficial physiological effects.
What are the signs of prebiotic deficiency?
The signs can vary from person to person. However, unsettled stomach, bloating, gas and signs of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), such as constipation and irregular bowel movements, suggest prebiotic deficiency. These signs suggest a deficiency of good gut bacteria and an imbalanced human colonic microbiota.
What are the three main prebiotic fibres for gut bacteria?
Three main prebiotics in human nutrition are trans-galacto-oligosaccharides (TOS), galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) and Fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS). They are present in many commercial probiotics and prebiotics and enhance the growth of beneficial gut bacteria.
