Prebiotic juices: definition and composition
A prebiotic juice is a functional beverage enriched with prebiotic fibers that are designed to support gut flora and digestive health. These juices do not contain live bacteria (like probiotics), but rather the nutrients needed for the good bacteria in the gut to thrive and function optimally.
In the case of Sipit products, the fibers come from ingredients such as:
- high quality corn
- Jerusalem artichoke root which has a high concentration of inulin
- acacia gum
These are natural sources of inulin and FOS (fructooligosaccharides), two compounds with a scientifically confirmed prebiotic role.
Why do prebiotics matter?
A prebiotic juice consumed regularly contributes to:
- balancing the intestinal microbiome
- improving digestive transit
- supporting the immune system
- appetite and blood sugar regulation
- supporting mental state (through the gut-brain connection)
Prebiotics are a preventative solution, not a treatment. Their consistent consumption, in optimal amounts, ensures long-term results.
