Prebiotic Fiber Supplement Increases Good Colon Bacteria


Printable Version | Email
The very heart of the prebiotic story is the fact that, without question, oligofructose and inulin plant fibers strongly stimulate the growth of  beneficial bacteria in the colon. The colon is a depository for a huge number and variety of bacteria. What one eats is very important for which bacteria thrive and which ones do not.

The two key bacteria groups are the bifidobacter and lactobacillus species. We all have them in varying amounts in our colon. These bacteria depend on plant food fibers for growth.  By feeding our colon bacteria with adequate oligofructose and inulin plant fibers, we can shift the balance within the colon so these good bacteria predominate. Many health benefits then occur. Additionally, the bad and potentially dangerous bacteria do not have room for growth.
