Prebiotics vs. Probiotics — what’s the difference? 🦠🌿
Think of your gut like a garden.
Probiotics are the beneficial bacteria that live in your gut and help support digestion, immune health, and overall balance.
Prebiotics are the fuel that feed those good bacteria so they can grow and thrive.
Both matter. When you nourish your gut with the right balance of prebiotics and probiotics, you support a healthier microbiome, which can influence everything from digestion to immunity and even mood.
As a pharmacist, I often remind patients that gut health isn’t just about adding bacteria — it’s about creating the environment for them to flourish.
Small daily choices can make a big difference. 🌱
