Reset and Improve Gut health with BIA GutBuilder Prebiotic Supplement
You can think of prebiotics as food for the microorganisms in your gut. They serve an important role because when the right bacteria are fueled, they can support the gut lining, reduce inflammation, metabolize nutrients, and through the skin-gut-brain-microbiome axis, may support skin health, brain health, and mental health. They help your gut wall to absorb critical nutrients and your gut microbiome to synthesize key vitamins.
Prebiotics selectively increase beneficial bacteria such as Bifidobacteria and Lactobacillus species. These microbes produce short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) like butyrate, propionate, and acetate. [image, see reference DOI: 10.5772/51248]
SCFAs help strengthen the intestinal barrier, preventing "leaky gut," which is associated with translocation of endotoxins (e.g., LPS) into the bloodstream — a trigger for chronic low-grade inflammation. SCFAs also regulate T-regulatory cells and downregulate pro-inflammatory cytokines (like IL-6, TNF-α), which can benefit conditions like eczema, rosacea, psoriasis and acne.
