Prebiotics and Our Gut Microbiota by Dr Jason Lim
Did you know that we have more microorganisms than human cells in our body?
Our gut microbiota comprises a unique set of bacteria, viruses and fungi that colonize each individual’s gut. It affects the health of our gut, which in turn impacts other body systems and functions. Prebiotics are food for the beneficial microbes in our gut and support their healthy growth. This helps crowd out the harmful bacteria and establishes a balanced gut microbiota.
