These bacteria assist in restoring the microbiome, reduce inflammation, and treat digestive problems, including constipation or diarrhoea.<sup>4<\/sup>\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>Prebiotics<\/strong>\u00a0are another important type of supplement. Unlike probiotics, which are live bacteria, prebiotics are the foods that those microbes can consume. These are usually fibres that nourish beneficial bacteria.

It\u2019s also important to choose a supplement with a high colony-forming unit (CFU) count, which indicates how many bacterial cells you will receive in one dose. A common advice is to choose probiotics with at least 1 billion colony-forming units and the one with a protective coating so that the bacteria survive stomach acid.<sup>6<\/sup>\u00a0<\/p><p>For\u00a0<strong>prebiotics<\/strong>, choose products with ingredients like fructooligosaccharides (FOS) to nourish your gut bacteria.<sup>5\u00a0<\/sup>\u00a0<\/p><p>The Path to Improved Gut Health\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>Probiotic and Prebiotic supplements<\/strong>\u00a0function best with a nutritious diet high in fruits, vegetables, and fermented foods.<strong>\u00a0Food for gut health<\/strong>\u00a0includes yoghurt, kimchi, and sauerkraut, as well as prebiotics like garlic, banana, and onions.<sup>5,6<\/sup>\u00a0<\/p><p><em>A combination of such diet and supplementation can be extremely beneficial to your gut health.
