Prebiotics support a healthy colon

Science-Backed

A healthy colon contains more than 1.000 different types of bacteria. Prebiotics are specific dietary fibers serving as a source of energy for the healthy intestinal bacteria. A prebiotic fiber deficiency reduces the number of healthy intestinal bacteria quite rapidly and results in a dissonant intestinal flora. Therefore prebiotics are the basic requirement for a healthy colon.

A healthy individual features a total of several billion intestinal bacteria. Quite surprising, considering that this number is ten times higher than the total number of cells in the body. This enormous amount of micro-organisms requires a steady supply of nutrients for energy, growth and multiplication. The preferred energy source for healthy intestinal bacteria are dietary fibers.

What differentiates probiotics from prebiotics?

Probiotics are live bacterial strains which are ingested to settle in the colon. Therefore they are imperative after antibiotic therapy, but also in case of an existing dissonant intestinal flora.

Prebiotics provide nutrients to the microbiom in the colon. More specifically, prebiotics promote proliferation of intestinal bacteria and the additional micro-organism absorbed with probiotics. Combined, they provide a harmonious intestinal flora and healthy colon function.

Prebiotic dietary fibers are present in fruits and vegetables, such as apple peels, bananas, onions and garlic, sunchoke, chicory root and beans.

Apparently it should be simple to ingest enough prebiotic dietary fibers with the foods we eat. However, considering the minor content of prebiotic dietary fibers in these foods often makes it difficult to provide adequate amounts through food intake alone.

Bowel movement frequency and consistency of the bowel movement

In order to guarantee appropriate bowel elimination, an adequate amount of dietary fibers is required on daily basis. Experts recommend consuming a minimum of 25 grams of daily dietary fibers.

Not consuming enough fiber results in a lazy colon and a too slow digestion process and subsequently, hard bowel movements, pain and constipation. On long-term basis a lazy colon can poison the body and may result in serious intestinal disease.

Taking a good prebiotic on regular basis ensures a long-term optimal bowel movement frequency and consistency. It also promotes the growth of healthy intestinal bacteria, which is imperative for a healthy colon.

Studies confirm the positive effect

Approximately 20 years ago, scientists were searching for nutrients potentially promoting the natural growth of the micro-organisms in the large intestines. The research discovered prebiotic dietary fibers. Since then, numerous studies at renowned universities were conducted and indicated that the prebiotic dietary fibers contained in the chicory root (chicory) are especially suitable for the production of prebiotics.

9 reasons why Prebiona is the ideal prebiotic:

• first prebiotic achieving an optimal effect in the entire large intestine
• increases the number of healthy, beneficial colon bacteria
• reduces the number of harmful bacteria
• improves the ratio of good versus bad bacteria
• promotes colon function and regular bowel movements
• increases calcium absorption and supports bone density
• reduces the permeability of the intestinal walls (leaky-gut syndrome)
• strengthens the immune system and reduces food allergies
• reduces the risk of intestinal infections and inflammation

Natural, healthy and safe

You can simply supplement your nutritional intake with high-quality dietary fibers by taking Prebiona and benefit from the numerous advantages of a healthy colon. If you are taking a probiotic, Prebiona increases its effectiveness, because it provides the nutrient preferred by the probiotic germs.

Prebiona is beneficial in the event

• of poor dietary fiber nutrition
• after antibiotics therapy
• if taking probiotics
• of a disharmonious intestinal flora
• of constipation
• of leaky-gut syndrome
• of food allergies

Can I use Prebiona if I am fructose intolerant?

If you have an intestinal fructose intolerance or fructose malabsorption, you can also consume Prebiona within your normal gastrointestinal tolerance. Prebiona contains only 160mg fructose per level measuring spoon (4 gram powder).

If you suffer from fructosuria because of lack of liver fructokinase or from hereditary fructose intolerance because of lack of the enzyme aldolase B, you should not consume Prebiona.

Where are the Chicory roots coming from?

The Chicory roots, which are used to produce the Oligofructose Enriched Inulin used in Prebiona, are cultivated under controlled conditions in Belgium. The obtained probiotic fibers are regularly analysed for different parameters, such as heavy metals, nitrates, mycotoxins and pesticides.
