Prebiotics
Sprouted fermented greens, inulin, green banana resistant starch, and purple cabbage; prebiotic rich food. Prebiotic fibers and resistant starch feed gut bacteria and are slowly fermented by these bacteria in the colon to produce short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs). SCFAs play an important role in gut health, immune health and based on preclinical research they could also have the potential to improve stress-resilience and sleep.
