Why Daily Supplementation with Prebiotic Fiber

The discovery of prebiotics in the 1990s within the foods we have been eating for thousands of years ushered in a tremendous amount of research. We now know that we should be ingesting about 8 grams or more of these inulin type of prebiotics to maintain a positive digestive balance in the gut.

We also know that while these prebiotics are widely scattered throughout the plant world, they are fairly restricted in the plants that we eat. Inulin and oligofructose, the two key prebiotic fibers, are present in wheat, leeks, asparagus, root Jerusalem artichoke, garlic, onions, bananas and a few others. Wheat alone supplies 70-80% of these prebiotic fibers.

In total, the average American diet only supplies about 1-4 grams of these beneficial prebiotic fiber daily. This is why a supplement will likely improve the intestinal balance for just about everyone.

Simply put, it is difficult to maintain a regular high level of these inulin type prebiotics from diet alone. This is why the tested formula of Prebiotin can be so helpful. It provides a generous portion of both inulin and oligofructose, the perfect formula for a strong digestive balance.
