Prebiotic Fiber Pro

Microbes, or micro-organisms, include bacteria, fungi, yeasts and algae. As far as humans are concerned, microbes are best known for their role in causing disease, but their power has also been harnessed for millennia to the benefit of humankind. They are used in the production of fermented foods including dairy products, breads, vegetables and, of course, wines and beers to name but a few.

Various types of microorganisms, known as gut microbiota, are inhabitants of the human gastrointestinal tract. App. 100 trillion microorganisms (bacteria, viruses, fungi, protozoa) of at least 1000 different species live in the GI tract.

The resident microbial groups in the stomach, small, and large intestine are crucial for human health. In healthy individuals, this vast community acts symbiotically with the host to improve intestinal integrity, metabolism, and compete against pathogenic organisms. The gut microbiome can be considered as an organ in its own right.

Under healthy conditions, the gut microbiota exists in a state of “Normobiosis” in which microorganisms with beneficial effects on health predominate over harmful species. During “dysbiosis,” a few potentially harmful bacterial species have been shown to propagate, a disease-prone situation is created.

Diet-induced dysbiosis was identified as a contributing factor for the development of diseases such as allergy, autoimmune disease, Crohn’s disease, obesity, type-2 diabetes, and ulcerative colitis. In addition, new diseases were recently added to the list, including cardiovascular disorders, colorectal cancer, irritable bowel syndrome, and NAFLD.

Prebiotics and probiotics therefore present an exciting and promising therapeutic approach to mitigate the effects of increased intestinal permeability, inflammation, and nutrient malabsorption. As defined by WHO, “A prebiotic is a non-viable food component that confers a health benefit on the host associated with modulation of the microbiota.”

The intestinal tract, which has been described as the second brain of the human body, plays an important role in health. The intestinal flora interacts with the human body, helping the body to digest and absorb nutrients from food, metabolize toxic waste produced in the intestine, and produce functional substances necessary for life, such as amino acids, vitamins, short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) and other substances.

Prebiotics are ingredients, mostly polysaccharides, that cannot be digested and absorbed by the human body, which can contribute to the growth or reproduction of active microorganisms in the host.

As living organisms, all microbes require a source of energy in order to grow and reproduce. Human diet is the chief source of energy for the growth of beneficial bacteria. Particularly, non-digestible carbohydrates can highly modify the composition and function of gut microbiota. Beneficial intestinal microbes ferment these non-digestible dietary substances called prebiotics and obtain their survival energy from degrading indigestible prebiotics.

Fermentation of prebiotics by gut microbiota produces short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), including lactic acid, butyric acid, and propionic acid. These products can have multiple health effects on the body.

These SCFA, most notably among them, butyrate, have been shown to promote gastrointestinal (GI) barrier integrity, lower inflammation, increase resistance to pathogen invasion, and contribute positively to endocrine signalling and energy homeostasis.

Prebiotics are also being developed to decrease faecal transit time, lower cholesterol and the glycaemic response, improve bone health, lower daily energy (fat) intake, relieve symptoms of inflammatory bowel disease, and attempt to lower colon cancer rates.

Commonly used prebiotics include: inulin (found naturally in asparagus, chicory root, Jerusalem artichoke and leeks); oligofructose (found in wheat, honey, garlic, onions and bananas); galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) (found in legumes; hummus, cashews and pistachios, soy milk and oat milk and freekeh); xylo-oligosaccharides (found in fruits, vegetables, honey, milk and bamboo shoots); and lactulose (a synthetic disaccharide used as a medicine for the treatment of constipation and hepatic encephalopathy).

Prebiotics can be formulated either as a powder, syrup or as capsules and marketed as supplements which are available from health food stores or incorporated into food products. Prebiotic powder may be sprinkled on food or added to beverages, or capsules may be consumed with meals.

Prebiotic Fiber Pro is an extremely versatile supplement, and can be used in a variety of foods and beverages:

1. For general use: mix one scoop (10gm) of Prebiotic Fiber Pro in app. 200ml water or any beverage.
2. Stir and watch it disappear. Consume it anytime in the day or night.
3. Add to Food and Drinks: Prebiotic fiber Pro can be added to a variety of foods and beverages, like Smoothies, Juices, Breakfast Cereals, Coffee, Tea or any other beverage of food you like.
