  • Stomach health guide: Prebiotics

    Prebiotics are substances that nourish specific microorganisms in the intestine, favoring the growth of populations of beneficial bacteria (generally the prebiotics are polysaccharides and oligosaccharides).

    * They stimulate the increase in the population of bacteria such as bifidobacteria and lactobacilli, responsible for the fermentation process in the colon.
    * They produce a decrease in the stomach pH, managing to control the populations of the most harmful microorganisms.
    * At the blood level, they have various functions such as the reduction of cholesterol, triglyceride and phospholipid levels, the absorption of minerals and the reduction of glucose levels, among others.
    * They improve intestinal defenses against intestinal infections.
    * They reduce the time of intestinal transit and have a laxative effect, which can lead to diarrhea or an upset stomach if the dose is not properly regulated.

    We have the following types of prebiotics:

    * Inulin: It is a dietary fiber.
    * Oligofructose: it is obtained by the enzymatic hydrolysis of inulin.
    * Pectic substances
    * Galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS)
    * Fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS)

    The effectiveness will depend on two factors:

    The type of oligosaccharide selected although the average dose to increase the population of bifidobacteria is 15g/day.
