What are prebiotics?
Prebiotics, including resistant starch, are indigestible fibers present in specific foods. Rather than being broken down in the gut, prebiotic fibers pass through the digestive system, promoting the growth and activity of beneficial bacteria, known as probiotics. These prebiotics act as a source of nourishment for the good bacteria, fostering a healthy gut microbiota.
According to the CSIRO increasing intakes of prebiotic fibres is likely more effective for improving gut health than a probiotic.
