Prebiotics, Probiotics and Postbiotics - What You Should Know

<p>Many people in today's modern world experience an imbalance within their microbiome. Several factors - eating habits, environmental, other health conditions - contribute to this imbalance.&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Prebiotics</strong> are carbohydrates that humans cannot digest.&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Probiotics</strong> help to support healthy digestion by up-regulating gastric secretions, assisting with the synthesis of B-vitamins, and aiding in the absorption of minerals.</p> <p><strong>Postbiotics </strong>are <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/labs/pmc/articles/PMC6801921/"><u>bioactive compounds</u></a> that are produced when your good gut bacteria (probiotics) ferment fiber. So probiotics + prebiotics = postbiotics.</p> <p>Join Partners in Health and Biz podcast host Gail Dixon-McBride as she breaks down the differences and uses for each one of these biotics and how they can benefit your health.</p> --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/gail-dixon-mcbride/message Support this podcast: <a href="https://anchor.fm/gail-dixon-mcbride/support" rel="payment">https://anchor.fm/gail-dixon-mcbride/support</a>
