Probiotics and prebiotics A probiotic (aka probiotics) is a supplement containing live bacteria that are beneficial for your health. A lot of probiotics occur naturally in fermented or yeast-fed foods, such as sauerkraut and yogurt. Probiotics are often resistant to gastric acid and reach the intestines alive, where they do most of their work. Some bacteria colonise the intestines and become part of your own gut flora. Other probiotics are merely short-term visitors, but still perform their tasks during their temporary stay. Prebiotics are nutrients (often plant-based fibres) for healthy intestinal bacteria that contribute to human health. These bacteria help support digestion and keep the intestines healthy. Prebiotic fibres feed a balanced mix of intestinal bacteria that support regular bowel function. BIOptimizers CogniBiotics: probiotics and Chinese herbs for the mind and mood CogniBiotics is a blend of 10 probiotic microorganisms, 2 prebiotic fibres and 15 Chinese herbs. The prebiotic fibers enhance the bacteria contained in CogniBiotics and in your own intestinal flora. The 'gut-brain axis' is the link between the digestive system and the brain. The intestines come equipped with a semi-independent nervous system, also known as the 'second brain.' Communication between the brain and this 'second brain' in the intestines works both ways: the brain influences how digestion takes place and the state of the intestines affects brain function. Therefore, the gut flora probably does much more than just help with digestion!
