Prebiotin™ Increases Good Colon Bacteria

The very heart of the prebiotic story is the fact that, without question, these oligofructose and inulin plant fibers strongly stimulate the growth of very beneficial bacteria in the colon. One function of the colon is that of a depository for a huge number and variety of bacteria. However, what happens within the colon when certain beneficial bacteria thrive there is far more important. What one eats is clearly 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. By feeding our colon bacteria properly, meaning the plant food fibers they rely on for growth, we can shift the balance within the colon whereby these good bacteria predominate. Many health benefits then occur. Additionally, the bad and potentially dangerous bacteria do not have room for growth.
