What are prebiotics?
Prebiotics are plant-based ingredients that provide food for beneficial gut bacteria. Their main function is to support the health of the gut microbiota, which is crucial for the overall functioning of the body. One of the most common prebiotics is dietary fibre. Not only does it support regularity of bowel movements and a feeling of satiety, but it also plays an important role in metabolic processes.
In the intestines, fibre is fermented to produce short-chain fatty acids, known as butyrates. These play an important role in maintaining intestinal health by supporting the regeneration of the intestinal epithelium, helping to reduce inflammation and strengthening the intestinal barrier, which contributes to the body's protection against pathogens.
The PREIMMUNO dietary supplement has been formulated to provide the body with high quality prebiotics, particularly important when naturally, due to an insufficiently varied diet or antibiotic therapy, they may require supplementation.
What makes Preimmuno special?
The composition of Preimmuno has been carefully developed to support the immune system and intestinal health. It is distinguished by its natural composition, which supports the body in a comprehensive and effective way.It contains:
- Yarrowia lipolytica yeast – rich in natural beta-glucans and mannans. The uniqueness of this yeast is that it has up to 3 types of β-glucans to replenish the intestinal microbiota.
- Arabinogalactan from the larch tree Larix laricina – Supports intestinal regularity. Increases the production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) in the gastrointestinal tract. SCFAs are important metabolites produced by intestinal bacteria through the fermentation of fibre and other indigestible carbohydrates. In addition, it supports natural defence mechanisms.
- Nucleotides from yeast – these are DNA components that are used by intestinal bacteria for their growth.
- Also present in the supplement are apple pectins, which help to maintain normal blood cholesterol levels. Consuming pectin with a meal helps to reduce the rise in blood glucose levels after that meal.
What else is worth knowing about Preimmuno?
The prebiotic fibre it contains partly undergoes bacterial fermentation, becoming food for the bacteria. In the course of this process, butyric acid is formed, which is a valuable postbiotic for humans.
The presence of these compounds helps maintain the integrity of the tight junctions of the intestinal barrier, preventing the diffusion of macromolecular proteins and antigens such as LPS into the bloodstream. They also increase the absorptive surface area of the small intestinal villi and reduce inflammation within the mucosa, and act as an immunomodulator, affecting the whole body.
How does the Preimmuno prebiotic work?
- Supports the growth of beneficial bacteria – promoting greater colonisation in the large intestine, microbial diversity and aspects of intestinal balance.
- Supports the diversification of the intestinal microflora thus improving nutrient absorption and strengthening the intestinal barrier.
- Helps regulate the intestinal microflora – helping to maintain a balance between ‘good’ and ‘bad’ bacteria in the gut.
Reach for Preimmuno and feel the difference!
Prebiotics replenish the intestinal microflora by helping to build a more diverse microflora, so regular consumption is an important part of a healthy lifestyle.
If you want to naturally support the health of your gastrointestinal tract, pay attention to what ‘nutrition’ your gut bacteria are getting in the first place.
