How does Larch Tree Arabinogalactan support gut health?
Larch Tree Arabinogalactan is a unique type of soluble fiber that functions as a prebiotic. This means it is not digested in the upper gastrointestinal tract but reaches the large intestine intact. There, it becomes a valuable food source for beneficial bacteria, such as Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus. By promoting their growth, it helps maintain a healthy balance in the microflora. The fermentation of this fiber by bacteria leads to the production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), like butyrate, which is the primary energy source for colon cells and supports their proper function.
What is the difference between a prebiotic and a probiotic?
This is a question many people interested in gut health ask. The difference is simple yet crucial. Probiotics are live, beneficial microorganisms (bacteria) that we introduce into our bodies, for example, from yogurt or fermented foods. They act as 'reinforcements' for our army of good bacteria. In contrast, prebiotics, like the arabinogalactan in Swanson FiberAid, are substances (mainly fiber) that serve as food for the bacteria already living in our gut. You can think of it like a garden: probiotics are like new seeds, while prebiotics are the fertilizer that helps all the plants in the garden thrive. By using a prebiotic, you are supporting your own unique, natural microflora.
How to Use
Mix one scoop (1.5 g) of powder with your favorite beverage (water, juice) or meal (yogurt, oatmeal). Use one to three times daily, depending on your individual needs. Due to the high fiber content, remember to drink an adequate amount of water throughout the day. If you have any doubts about supplementation, it is advisable to consult a dietitian or doctor.
