In order to maintain the microecological balance of the intestinal flora, people can take the supplement of probiotics or prebiotics. However, the vitality of probiotics is not easy to maintain (it has been destroyed when passing through the digestive tract) and colonizes the gastrointestinal tract. Disadvantages such as poor capacity and short residence time. Prebiotics overcome these shortcomings and become a leader in intestinal microecological balance regulators.
Prebiotics are food ingredients that can be selectively fermented to specifically improve the composition and activity of the gut microbiota that is beneficial to host health. Therefore, prebiotics should meet the following 4 conditions:
In the upper part of the gastrointestinal tract it is neither hydrolyzed nor absorbed;
It can only selectively stimulate the growth and reproduction of beneficial bacteria (Bifidobacterium, etc.) in the large intestine or activate metabolic functions;
It can improve the composition and quantity of the intestinal flora that are beneficial to health;
Can play a role in enhancing the health of the host body.
