PREBIOTIC EFFECT


People know the importance of the intestinal probiotic flora for a good health. Indeed, the word “probiotic” means “good for the life” or “favours the life”.

In support of probiotics, prebiotics are non-digestible elements, that can be used by the intestinal microflora. In a certain manner, prebiotics are feed for probiotics.

The word prebiotic designated various oligosaccharides and ingredients, which are beneficial to the growth of the intestinal flora (lactobacilli, bifidobacteriae, bacteroïdes…). The fermentation of prebiotics by the probiotic flora produces short chain fatty acids easily assimilated and beneficial for the metabolism. This fermentation also decreases the intestinal pH until a right level for enhancing the mineral assimilation.

The mix of probiotic organisms and prebiotic elements improves many metabolic functions and reduces the risk to develop some chronic degenerative diseases.
