How do postbiotics work?
The immune system relies on the compounds produced by friendly bacteria in the microbiome to regulate the immune response. Postbiotics contain these same bioactive compounds to help activate the immune response, even if our microbiome function is disrupted.
Like a prebiotic, a postbiotic feeds your friendly bacteria. Unlike a prebiotic, whose fibres need to be broken down before being consumed, postbiotics have pre-converted nutrients (like butyric acids and other short-chain fatty acids) that are ready-to-use energy sources for your gut bacteria.
Conversation in the gut
Your gut bacteria lead complex social lives. Known as quorum sensing, strains talk using signal proteins, which help them coordinate beneficial activity, like preventing bad bacteria from colonizing your gut. Taking postbiotics provides extra signal proteins that support your gut bacteria’s ability to work together effectively.
CanPrev’s Post-Biotik, made from heat-killed Lactobacillus strains, contains a natural blend of enzymes, metabolites, and other bioactive compounds that support the immune response.
