Prebiotic fibers act as “food” for bacteria, and support the colonization and growth of beneficial bacteria. Prebiotics also play an important role in the signaling mechanism between the gut and immune system cells, pathogenic bacteria balance, and inflammatory cytokines.^†

ProBiota Immune contains two prebiotic fibers: Galactooligosaccharides and Beta-Glucan. Let’s take a deeper dive into both of these living organisms:

Galactooligosaccharides (GOS) have been found to mimic some of the prebiotics found in milk. They are known to be bifidogenic, which means they selectively feed and contribute to the attraction of bifidobacterium. Having healthy levels of bifidobacterium in the intestinal tract is associated with healthy bowel transit time. Because of this, GOS have been shown to assist with a healthy normal bowel transit time.^†

Butyrate is a short-chain fatty acid produced by your gut microbes when they break down prebiotic fibers. Healthy levels of butyrate have been shown to support intestinal cell wall function and normal intestinal wall permeability. Bifidobacterial increases with GOS supplementation have been associated with an increase in intestinal tract butyrate levels.^†

GOS has also been shown to support:^†

• The normal inhibition of potentially pathogenic organisms by blocking their like ability to bind to the intestinal lining
• A healthy mood
• Normal metabolic, immune, and endocrine functions

Beta-Glucan is a polysaccharide that consists of long chains of carbohydrate sugars formed together in a particular pattern. The Beta-Glucan used in ProBiota Immune is derived from a specific yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae. It is known to highly influence immune cell response. Beta-Glucan has been shown to support healthy immune responses from neutrophils and macrophages.^†

Beta-Glucan has also been shown to support the activity of both arms of the immune system; innate and humoral immunity. This allows for normal modulation of how our cells respond to their environment to support a healthy reaction to foreign invaders and toxins.^†
