How to distinguish between probiotics, prebiotics and synbiotics？

[Probiotics]

Probiotics are a kind of active microorganisms beneficial to the host, which are colonized in the intestinal tract and reproductive system of the human body and can produce exact health effects, thus improving the micro-ecological balance of the host and playing a beneficial role.

[Prebiotics]

Prebiotics is a dietary supplement, mainly including oligosaccharides, microalgae and natural plants, which can directly or indirectly stimulate the growth of probiotics, and can be simply understood as the fertilizer for intestinal probiotics.



[synbiotics]

The mixed preparation of probiotics and prebiotics, the prebiotics added in the synbiotics can not only exert the physiological activity of the probiotics, but also selectively increase the number of the probiotics, so that the effect is more significant and lasting. Probiotics and prebiotics complement each other and work together to establish a good micro-ecological environment for the gastrointestinal tract.
