Postbiotics: The “NEW” Biotic on the Scene

Gut health and immune health are emerging as top priorities for overall health and wellbeing. With our immune system tied directly to our gut health, it is critical to ensure we are doing everything we can to support it. Most people have heard of probiotics, and perhaps even prebiotics, but there’s a “new biotic” on the scene – POSTbiotics.

Tune into this podcast episode to learn about:

  • the definition of and science supporting postbiotics
  • the benefits of postbiotics including how postbiotics support gut health and therefore immunity
  • how post, pro and prebiotics are different from each other
  • how to best incorporate postbiotics into a healthy, balanced diet
  • what to look for on product labels to make sure products feature postbiotics
  • the interesting story of how EpiCor® Postbiotics were inspired
