Prebiotics are substances that preferentially favor the growth and dominance within the G.I. tract of the beneficial components of the microflora, such as the lactobacilli and bifidobacteria.

Pharmax’s Preprobiotic contains fructooligosaccharides (FOS), the most well known and well proven prebiotic. FOS are non-digestible plant sugars that pass undigested through the small intestine and are then fermented in the colon. Here, they selectively promote the growth of some species of the indigenous microflora, especially Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus. They therefore help to produce a beneficial microflora in the G.I. tract and maintain the integrity of the mucosal barrier. This is assisted by the inclusion of the specific HLC organisms, Bifidobacterium bifidum and Lactobacillus acidophilus (1 billion per 10 gram dose).

Psyllium husk is unique in acting as a viscous and particulate fiber, hence providing both insoluble and soluble fiber. Psyllium helps to modulate glucose and insulin metabolism and can help to reduce plasma cholesterol level.

Finally, oil of ginger is supplied as a freeze dried powder, to soothe the intestinal lining and assist in its repair and normal functioning.
