What is BlueBiology Prebiotic

Do you feel like your digestive health could be better? It could be because you’re not getting enough prebiotic fiber in your diet.

Prebiotics are essential not only for digestion and regularity but also for creating a healthy microbiome where probiotics can flourish. But what exactly are prebiotics and how do they work?


What are prebiotics?

Prebiotics are food sources for beneficial microorganisms in the digestive system, also known as probiotics. More specifically, they’re non-digestible fibers and complex carbohydrates.


Prebiotics help to stimulate the growth of probiotics and promote a healthy balance of the microbiome.


How Prebiotics and Probiotics Work Together

As you probably know, probiotics are beneficial bacteria and yeast that live throughout the digestive system. Prebiotics are non-digestible by us, but they do help form healthy stools and are a food source for probiotics.


Prebiotics feed and promote the growth of probiotics. They also inhibit the growth of bad microorganisms that can harm us.


Potential Health Benefits of Prebiotics

There are a plethora of benefits associated with prebiotics. If you’re not getting enough prebiotics in your diet, your health could be suffering.

Weight Loss

Prebiotics are fiber and higher intakes of fiber are correlated with lower body weight. (1) (2) One way that fiber does this is by reducing your appetite. (3) (4)


Better Cardiovascular Health

Higher fiber intake is associated with less cardiovascular disease. (1) It’s thought to do this by lowering bad cholesterol levels and improving insulin resistance. (5)


It Keeps You Regular

Fiber itself helps keep you regular by forming larger, softer stools. Fiber works in a couple of different ways.


Insoluble fiber helps add bulk to the stool and makes food pass faster through the stomach and intestines. Soluble fiber absorbs water and turns into a gel-like substance, which softens the stool, letting it move through the digestive tract more easily.


BlueBiology Prebiotic contains both of these types of fiber.


Prebiotics May Help with Appetite Control

Fiber can help control your appetite by increasing satiety (the feeling of fullness after eating). Studies have shown that this can be achieved through fiber supplementation. (6) Fiber likely does this by increasing the production of the hormones that make you feel full after eating. (7) (8)


Inflammation

Higher fiber intake is linked with lower rates of mortality from inflammation-based diseases “particularly from circulatory, digestive, and non-CVD noncancer inflammatory diseases”. (9) Soluble fiber may also help improve symptoms in people with inflammatory conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome. (10)


Better Immune Function

Some studies indicate that prebiotics, whether it’s directly or indirectly, are associated with stronger immune responses. (11)


Stimulates the Growth of Probiotics

This is what prebiotics are really known for: boosting the growth of probiotic bacteria and yeast. As you may know, probiotics have wide-ranging health benefits, so by combining a prebiotic supplement with a probiotic like BlueBiotics Ultimate Care, it encourages the probiotics to flourish, which improves your overall health.


There are many health benefits associated with probiotics. Some of the more significant health benefits include: 

  • Probiotics promote a healthy balance of the microbiome (the collection of organisms that live throughout the digestive system) (12)
  • Probiotics can prevent and treat diarrhea (13)
  • Probiotics are good for the immune system (14)
  • Probiotics can provide relief from the symptoms of digestive disorders (15) (16) (17)
  • Probiotics have a positive impact on mental health and may provide relief from conditions such as depression and anxiety (18) (19)
  • Probiotics are good for heart health by lowering bad cholesterol and blood pressure (20) (21)
  • Probiotics are beneficial for certain allergies (22) (23) (24)

BlueBiology Prebiotic Ingredients

BlueBiology Prebiotic contains both soluble and insoluble fiber so that you get the digestive benefits of both types plus enough variety to satisfy any type of probiotic strain as a food source.

Product Features

These ingredients can do wonders for your digestion and help to promote the health of probiotics and the microbiome. However, there can be a drawback for some people: gas.


This is totally normal with prebiotic and fiber supplements, and sometimes the feeling goes away after the body adjusts. But we wanted to avoid our supplement causing gas altogether, which is why we included 23mg of the last ingredient, alpha-galactosidase.


Alpha-galactosidase is an enzyme that helps reduce gas, the feeling of bloating, and flatulence.
