The role of probiotics and prebiotics
The gut powers 70% of the immune system and controls the absorption of nutrients from the diet. Whatever you feed your pet, that food is only as valuable as the extent to which your pet can metabolise those wonderful vitamins and minerals.
Probiotics are beneficial live bacteria and yeasts that promote a healthy gut flora. Introducing these beneficial microbes through supplements or specific foods can aid in restoring balance to the gut microbiome, especially after instances of dietary indiscretion or exposure to potentially harmful substances. Probiotics work to repopulate the gut with beneficial bacteria, aiding in the breakdown of food, enhancing nutrient absorption, and bolstering the immune system.
Prebiotics serve as the fuel for these beneficial
bacteria. They are non-digestible fibres that nourish and support the growth of good bacteria in the gut.
