Probiotics
Probiotics, prebiotics and enzymes: a gut health primer
What CFU means, why strains matter, and how probiotics, fiber and enzymes fit together.
Draft article. Medical review by a registered dietitian is pending before launch.
Probiotics are live microorganisms. Prebiotics are the fibers that feed them. Digestive enzymes help break down food. Each plays a different role in digestive comfort.*
CFU (colony-forming units) tells you how many live organisms a product delivers. Strain diversity and survival to the gut matter as much as the headline number.
Key points
- Probiotics support a balanced gut microbiome.*
- Fiber supports regularity.*
- Many probiotic capsules use gelatin; ours use plant cellulose.
