Good bacteria in our body help to destroy the bad bacteria, digest our food, and even manage our calories. However, they can get upset by medications or a poor diet and when that happens, bad bacteria will take over and that is when we start to fall sick. Because it is almost impossible to get rid of all the bad bacteria in us, it is important keep the level of good and bad bacteria in their delicate balance to stay healthy.

Probiotics are live bacteria and yeast that can help to combat bacteria imbalance in our body, especially in our digestive system, and they help to keep our gut healthy.
However, probiotics are known to be fragile and they can be easily destroyed by heat and stomach acid. That’s where prebiotics come in. Prebiotics is a plant fibre that nourishes probiotics, helping probiotics to grow and thereby promoting the growth of good bacteria in our gut.
In simpler words, we need both prebiotics and probiotics for our body to function optimally.
