Quick answer: A synbiotic combines probiotics (live beneficial bacteria) with prebiotics (fibers they ferment). SodaTide pairs inulin and resistant starch with three probiotic strains.
Prebiotic, probiotic, synbiotic
Probiotics are live microorganisms that may benefit health. Prebiotics are fibers that selectively feed beneficial bacteria. A synbiotic combines both.
Why pair them?
The idea is that incoming bacteria have food waiting, and the fiber also feeds your existing good bacteria. Research on synbiotics is growing but varies a lot by strain and dose. NCCIH on probiotics.
How SodaTide fits
It pairs inulin (favoured by Bifidobacteria) and resistant starch (favoured by butyrate producers like C. butyricum) with matching strains. It is a sensible design; the doses are small. See the label.
