FAQs
1) What are Prebiotics and how do they work?
In layman term, prebiotics are food for the probiotics. A prebiotic is commonly described as a substance that preferentially or selectively feeds friendly bacteria in the digestive tract.
Fructo-oligosaccharide (FOS) and Inulin are examples of a prebiotic which is a non-digestible, soluble-fibre carbohydrate that selectively stimulates the growth and/or activity of probiotics e.g. Bifidobacteria, Lactobacilli and other beneficial flora contained in the gut.
Prebiotics preferentially feed the beneficial ‘friendly’ bacteria that promote health in the gastrointestinal tract. This gives the good bacteria in our digestive tracts a survival advantage over bad bacteria.
The intake of probiotics and the ingestion of prebiotic substances are complementary ways that can be used to promote digestive and immune health. Daily use of prebiotics may confer improvement in gut health and intestinal defenses.
2) What are Synbiotics and how do they work?
Synbiotics are appropriate combinations of prebiotics and probiotics.
A symbiotic product exerts both a prebiotic and probiotic effect.
The action of probiotics is enhanced by the addition of prebiotics – non digestible substance that provide a beneficial physiological effect for the host by selectively stimulating the favorable growth or activity of a limited number of indigenous bacteria.
3) How do Probiotics benefit us?
It helps in:
- Reduction of diarrhea¹ and other digestive upset.
- Prevention of diarrhea caused by antibiotic therapy.²
- Restore and improve immunity and resistance to disease.
- Reduction of symptoms of digestive disease such as lactose intolerance and IBS (irritable bowel syndrome).³
- Reduces constipation.
- Improves digestion (breakdown of food products).

4) Is it possible to overdose on Probiotics?
No, even if you have a relatively healthy intestinal tract with balanced good bacteria, you can still safely take Probiotics for preventive purposes.
