Understanding Probiotics and Prebiotics
You may have heard the terms probiotics and prebiotics, but what do they actually mean?
Although they sound similar, they play different roles and are often included together in foods and supplements.
Let's take a closer look.
What Are Probiotics?
Probiotics are live microorganisms that are commonly added to certain foods and dietary supplements.
Different products contain different strains, and each product is formulated in its own way.
You'll often find probiotics in foods such as:
- Yoghurt
- Kefir
- Fermented vegetables
- Some dietary supplements
What Are Prebiotics?
Prebiotics are a type of dietary fibre that naturally occurs in a variety of plant foods.
Foods that naturally contain prebiotic fibre include:
- Jerusalem artichokes
- Garlic
- Onions
- Leeks
- Asparagus
- Bananas
Including a variety of fibre-rich foods as part of a balanced diet is a simple way to increase your intake of prebiotics.
What's the Difference?
A simple way to remember the difference is:
- Probiotics are live microorganisms.
- Prebiotics are fibres that naturally occur in certain plant foods.
The two are often included together in foods and supplements.

- Staying hydrated
- Keeping active
- Getting enough sleep
- Finding routines you can enjoy consistently
