Benefits of Prebiotics

The benefits of prebiotics and probiotics would not have the credibility they do now without the extensive medical research that has occurred over the past 15 years. Indeed, it is precisely these well-documented articles in the medical literature that demonstrated the health benefits of prebiotics and encouraged Jackson GI Medical to come into this groundbreaking field.

The story, so far, is simply dramatic.

The colon, instead of being the waste organ — which is what was once taught in medical school — is instead a robust major health organ. It is powered by the thriving bacteria factory which itself is nourished by the prebiotic fibers that we ingest.
