Probiotics are no stranger to people. Yogurt, natto and even kimchi are often labeled as probiotics. When it comes to prebiotics, not many people are familiar with them. Some people even think that they are fake goods that rub the flow of probiotics, but in factPrebiotics and probiotics are not the sameIn layman's terms, prebiotics are a big canteen for probiotics. Here we introduce probiotics and prebiotics:

1 Probiotics:

1) live bacteria, a wide variety

2) Affected by temperature, acid and alkali environment, there is a life span

3) will compete with the existing intestinal flora

4) Common probiotics: Lactobacillus acidophilus NCFM, Bifidobacterium animalis Bb-12, Lactobacillus reuteri DSM17938, Lactobacillus rhamnosus HN001/Lactobacillus rhamnosus LGG, Bifidobacterium lactis HN019/Bifidobacterium lactis Bi-07, Bifidobacterium breve M-16V, Lactobacillus fermentum CECT5716

1.2 prebiotics:

1) Not digested and absorbed

2) It is used by intestinal flora fermentation to selectively stimulate the growth and/or activity of probiotics

3) have a beneficial effect on the host, thereby enhancing host health

4) generally not affected by temperature, acid and alkali

5) the existing prebiotics are soluble dietary fiber

6) Common prebiotics: inulin, fructooligosaccharides, galactooligosaccharides, milk oligosaccharides, lactulose

1.3 Simply put:

Probiotics are living and dormant bacteria; prebiotics are inanimate food ingredients, but also probiotic food

prebiotics are usually found inStrengthen the body's use of calcium, magnesium, iron and other minerals, prevent colon cancer, reduce symptoms of gastroenteritis, reduce appetite, prevent obesity and other aspects to play an active roleBut they are just bullets, and they must use probiotics to exert their power!

At present, there is no uniform standard for the recommend consumption of prebiotics, but prebiotics themselves cannot be directly digested and utilized by the human body. Once oversupplemented, there may be negative effects such as flatulence. So...Prebiotics are not the more the better, rather than blindly supplement prebiotic products, it is better to maintain a balanced diet healthier, more economical.
