no. 46 – The Probiotics and Prebiotics Episode
Walk down the supplement aisle of any pharmacy or supermarket and you’ll no doubt notice shelves full of probiotics and prebiotics promoting gut health. But what, if any, benefit do these products really provide?
Today’s show features frequent podcast guest and gut health expert, Kate Scarlata. Kate’s previous appearances on both The Poop Episode and The IBS Episode landed her at the top spot for a return episode to discuss pro- and prebiotics, by listener request.
In this episode, we discuss:
- The difference between probiotics and prebiotics
- Benefits of probiotics and prebiotics
- Sources of probtioics and prebiotics
- Which is more important – probiotics or prebiotics
- Best sources of probiotics and prebiotics
- Signs that someone may not be tolerating a prebiotic
- Recommendations/Resources for determining which probiotics may be indicated for certain conditions
