Prebiotics vs Probiotics: Which Is Right for You?
Prebiotics and probiotics work together, but they do different jobs. Your goals, diet, and the format you prefer will point you towards the right option. Here is a quick breakdown to help you choose.
Probiotics
Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium, S. boulardii, spore-based strains and Akkermansia
Probiotics are live, beneficial microbes that may help restore balance in your gut microbiome. Choose from multi-strain capsules, sachets, powders, and liquid probiotics, including formulas made for women, babies, and kids, plus next-generation strains like Akkermansia muciniphila.

Inulin, PHGG and other fermentable plant fibres
Prebiotics are plant fibres your body cannot digest, but your gut bacteria can. Research suggests they may help beneficial bacteria thrive. Most are unflavoured powders that mix easily into water, smoothies, or food. Looking for bulk fibre like psyllium? Browse our fibre supplements.

Probiotic strains paired with prebiotic fibre (synbiotics)
These combine live cultures with the fibre they feed on in a single daily dose. Some newer formulas pair pasteurised Akkermansia, a postbiotic, with inulin or FOS for pre, pro and postbiotic support in one.
