HEALTH EFFECTS OF PREBIOTICS ON DIGESTIVE SYSTEM
The good gut bacteria in the human body turns the prebiotic fibre into short-chain fatty acid called butyrate. A study conducted by the Centre de Recherche en Nutrition Humaine in France found that butyrate has anti-inflammatory effects inside the colon.
The acid influences gene expression and blocks the growth of cancerous cells in the human body. These fatty acids can be absorbed into the bloodstream and help facilitate metabolic health.
In short, from good digestion and keeping certain cancers away to helping you lose weight–prebiotics can do it all.
