Prebiotic Fiber & Gut Bacteria
Prebiotic fiber is one of DigestFlow's three general categories of support. Here's the science behind including it.
What It Is
Prebiotic fibers are types of dietary fiber that resist digestion in the stomach and small intestine, traveling intact to the colon where gut bacteria ferment them.
Why It Matters
This fermentation process produces short-chain fatty acids such as acetate, butyrate, and propionate, compounds that nourish the cells lining the colon and play a role in regulating inflammation throughout the body.
How DigestFlow's Approach Uses It
Prebiotic fiber sustains the probiotic strains in DigestFlow's approach over the long term, feeding the very bacteria the probiotics help establish.
An Honest Note
This reflects general research on prebiotic fiber, not a clinical trial of the finished DigestFlow product. If you have a diagnosed digestive condition, talk to your doctor before starting a new fiber routine.
