The Difference Between Prebiotics & Probiotics

Do you know the difference between Prebiotics & Probiotics?

It’s okay if you don’t, I still get confused by them sometimes😂

Here’s a simple breakdown between the 2:

▶️Prebiotics are specialized plant fibers. They act like fertilizers that stimulate the growth of healthy bacteria in the gut

▶️While Probiotics are the healthy bacteria cultures in your gut.

Essentially, the work in tandem with each other!

Prebiotics are the “food” to help the gut bacteria (probiotics) grow & function properly!

That is why it is important to make sure you are getting a healthy amount of both!

Many fruits 🍑🍊and veggies 🥦🥕have prebiotics, while many yogurts and cheeses 🧀 have probiotics!
