Many people in today's modern world experience an imbalance within their microbiome. Several factors - eating habits, environmental, other health conditions - contribute to this imbalance.

Prebiotics are carbohydrates that humans cannot digest.

Probiotics help to support healthy digestion by up-regulating gastric secretions, assisting with the synthesis of B-vitamins, and aiding in the absorption of minerals.

Postbiotics are bioactive compounds that are produced when your good gut bacteria (probiotics) ferment fiber. So probiotics + prebiotics = postbiotics.

Join Partners in Health and Biz podcast host Gail Dixon-McBride as she breaks down the differences and uses for each one of these biotics and how they can benefit your health.
