The difference between probiotics and prebiotics

Both probiotics and prebiotics are related to supporting the digestive system and gut flora, but they have different functions and characteristics.

Probiotics are live, beneficial bacteria that can supplement your own gut bacteria.
They can support a healthy gut flora.
Probiotics are found in foods such as yogurt, kefir, fermented vegetables, and fermented soy products, as well as in the form of probiotic supplements.

Prebiotics are non-digestible nutrients (fibers).
They serve as food for beneficial gut bacteria, stimulating their growth and activity, thereby helping to maintain the normal balance of gut flora.
Prebiotics are often found in carbohydrate-rich foods such as vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and legumes. You can also take a prebiotic supplement as an addition.
