FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What are probiotics anyway?
Probiotics are viable microorganisms that we ingest with our food and that can colonize the intestines. To do this, they have to survive the digestion process and arrive in the intestines undamaged. That is why the probiotic strains in Probionic are microencapsulated.

What is the difference between prebiotics and probiotics?
Prebiotics and probiotics both play important roles in gut health. Although the names sound similar, they are completely different vital substances: Probiotics are living microorganisms that are mainly found in fermented foods such as yoghurt or sauerkraut. Prebiotics are fibers that serve as food for beneficial gut bacteria. So, prebiotics are crucial for probiotics to thrive.

Why should the microbiome be as diverse as possible?
Research indicates that a diverse microbiome plays an important role in our health and the body's defenses. Unfortunately, our lifestyle and eating habits contribute to the fact that the diversity of our microbiome continues to decrease. The more unstable the microbiome, the easier it is for harmful microorganisms to take over.

Which foods are particularly good for the microbiome?
If you want to feed your microbiome every day, you should eat high-fiber foods. Certain dietary fibers such as fructooligosaccharides or inulin are an important food source for many beneficial intestinal bacteria such as bifidobacteria. In addition, fermented foods are considered a valuable source of probiotics. This includes, for example, sauerkraut, but also kefir, yoghurt and certain types of cheese, e.g. B. Parmesan. Korean kimchi is also probiotic.

What are the disadvantages of modern nutrition for the microbiome?
Our modern diet usually contains little fiber, but is rich in artificial additives, salt and, above all, sugar and simple carbohydrates. This can mean that our intestinal flora is undersupplied despite a full plate: On the one hand, the lack of fiber means little food for our good intestinal bacteria, which cannot multiply accordingly. On the other hand, sugar and other simple carbohydrates often feed the very microorganisms in the gut that we want to keep in check. That's why a balanced diet with lots of fresh vegetables, protein and complex carbohydrates is so important for our intestinal flora.
