What are prebiotics?

You may have heard of PRObiotics. Probiotics are live bacteria found in yogurt, other dairy products, and some dietary supplements. While probiotics have been shown effective in managing certain gastrointestinal conditions, they’re very delicate.

Heat and stomach acid can easily kill them, and they must compete with over 1,000 bacterial species already in the gut, and they simply do not have the same power that prebiotics do.

PREbiotics are starchy plant fibers that can’t be digested by the body. This is why some prebiotics are referred to as “resistant starch”. Prebiotics promote gut and overall health by encouraging the growth of “friendly” gut flora (such as bifidobacteria and lactobacilli).

The beneficial bacteria in the large intestine and colon ferment prebiotics into the short chain fatty acids acetate, propionate, and butyrate. These fatty acids help maintain proper pH in the gut for optimal digestion and healthy metabolism. They also help regulate blood sugar, increase satiety, and discourage the growth of “unfriendly” bacteria.

The benefits go beyond gut health: prebiotics also increase the production of certain neurotransmitters. Increased butyrate levels from prebiotic fermentation stimulate the production of GABA in the brain. Prebiotics also feed the serotonin­producing bacteria in the gut, and serotonin converts to melatonin when darkness falls. The result is reduced anxiety, overall mental clarity, and deeper, more restorative sleep.

Different prebiotics “feed” the beneficial gut bacteria in different ways, which is why Prebiotic+™ was formulated to contain several types of prebiotics.

Optimized Nutrition

Resistant starch appears to have a consistent effect on metabolism regardless of the type of diet you eat. Even for diabetics and people on ketogenic diets, resistant starch does not yield any rise in blood glucose, and for those of us eating moderate to high carb diets, it has a notable ‘blunting’ effect on blood glucose behavior. This means that regardless of how you eat, PreBiotic+ will have a beneficial effect on your appetite, satiety, digestion, metabolism and gut health.

A Complete Prebiotic

PreBiotic+ is a nutritionally complete resistant starch complex. The combination of raw potato starch and green banana flour yields an optimal concentration of resistant starch for daily supplementation. The addition of trehalose, inulin and cinnamon ensure that the vitamin and mineral profile are complete, along with significant antioxidant levels to soothe the digestive inflammation so many people face. 

No Artificial Ingredients

Natural Stacks is committed to using only the finest natural ingredients. Instead of finding low­cost sources of resistant starch overseas, we’ve selected the very best we could find. This ensures that you know exactly what you are putting into your body, and that you have the best experience possible with adding resistant starch to your diet.
