Mixing pre – and probiotics as part of a symbiotic formulation is a promising move to support immunity in the supplement market.

A synbiotic is a combination of probiotics (living microorganisms conferring health benefits), and prebiotics (inactive ingredients used as food for our probiotics).
There are two ways to develop a synbiotic product:
- COMPLEMENTARY
One or more of the pre-and probiotics working independently in a formulation to generate health benefits. - SYNERGY
Prebiotics are selected specifically to amplify the benefits of the chosen probiotic, yielding a more significant benefit.
Both are good depending if the purpose is to cover a broad spectrum of benefits or to generate a specific synergy in the microbiota.
