What are probiotics?
There are bacteria all over your body, that together make up a community of interacting organisms called your microbiome. There are different types of bacteria which form part of your microbiome, the so called 'good' and 'bas bacteria. While the 'good' bacteria assist in the normal functioning of multiple systems and are beneficial to us, for e.g.:
• In the gut, they break down dietary fibers and keep the gut environment healthy
• In the vagina, they produce lactic acid that lower the vaginal pH, making it inhabitable for other infectious organisims
'bad' bacteria are invading pathogens and can cause infection. Therefore, it is important that there is an adequate balance of 'good' bacteria in your body, to keep systems such as your digestive, genital and immune health functioning smoothly.

Although these 'good' bacteria can be obtained from your diet, an alternative way to ingest these are in the form of probiotics. Probiotics are capsules which contain live cultures of good bacteria, providing a simple and effective way to rebalance your microbiome.

What are Fructo Oligosaccharides (FOS)?
Fructo Oligosaccharides are chains of plant sugar that is a prebiotic, meaning that it feeds the good bacteria in the gut. Prebiotics boost the number of health-promoting bacteria in your gut and increase their activity.
