While many people believe probiotics and prebiotics are the same, they’re actually very different. In fact, both have to work very closely together in order to support digestive health.
PROBIOTICS:
Probiotics are living bacteria that, for the most part, live in the intestinal tract. This good bacteria helps to balance out the bad bacteria in the digestive system. We ingest probiotics through food and supplements.

PREBIOTICS:
Prebiotics are not alive, rather they’re a form of fiber. Bacteria in the gut, including probiotics, digest fiber. Think of probiotics as food for probiotics. We also ingest prebiotics through food and supplements. ⠀
