There are three main tools for keeping our insides clean. Antibiotics can rid us of acute pathogens, while prebiotic and probiotic products can promote beneficial elements. Pro bios means “for life.” Probiotics are edible living bacteria that can make us healthier. Pre bios means “before life.” Prebiotics are foodstuffs that pass undigested into the large intestine, where they feed our beneficial bacteria so that they thrive better than bad bacteria. Anti bios means “against life.” Antibiotics kill bacteria and are our saviors when we have picked up a pack of bad bacteria.
