One of the easiest ways to understand their difference is that probiotics are tiny living microorganisms in our gut, and prebiotics work as food for those probiotics. Prebiotics come from different types of carbs (mostly fiber) that serve as food for the beneficial bacteria in our guts by stimulating their growth. Probiotics constitute those beneficial bacteria that can be found in certain foods or supplements and go to live in our digestive system, essentially helping it.

We all want to have a healthy gut, especially this time of the year. We get together, we eat a lot of artificial sweeteners, red meat, processed foods and of course, we drink wine to toast for a great year...
