Prebiotics, Probiotics and Postbiotics—Supporting the Microbiome
Prebiotics, Probiotics and Postbiotics—Supporting the Microbiome

Prebiotics are a source of food for your gut's good bacteria. They are carbs people can't digest, so they travel to the lower digestive tract, where they help healthy bacteria grow.

As to probiotics, the human gut microbiome is a dynamic and intricate community of trillions of microorganisms residing in the gastrointestinal tract—an ecosystem that plays a crucial role in digestion, nutrient absorption and immunity.

Postbiotics are bioactive compounds, metabolic byproducts and cell components produced during the fermentation of prebiotic substrates by probiotics or via a heat-killed process. Postbiotics are attracting attention for their potential to influence and beneficially modulate various physiological processes.


Prebiotics—EubioQuercetin Enters the Picture

EubioQuercetin™

EubioQuercetin™ is developed through a proprietary technology that optimizes and retains 100% of the natural constituents found in the plant, including quercetin, along with a unique non-digestible oligosaccharide prebiotic rutinose.

EubioQuercetin releases quercetin and rutinose in the colon and, in this way, contributes to overall health and microbiome support by tapping into the brain-gut connection through the prebiotic effect of rutinose.

Probiotics—Beneficial Bacteria

Probiotics

Maypro is able to offer a wide range of research-backed proprietary strains of live healthy bacteria, including:

  • Morinaga BB536—one of the most researched, stable and effective probiotic strains for gut health, BB536 is supported by over 50 published human clinical studies.
  • Morinaga M-16V—a proprietary strain that has been proven in several clinical studies to improve the health and intestinal environment by increasing the level of Bifidobacterium in the microflora. M-16V has also demonstrated skin health benefits.
  • Morinaga M-63—with clinical studies demonstrating potential benefits in the gut-brain axis, M-63 has been shown in human clinical studies to provide mood support.
  • Morinaga B-3™—a clinically backed; room-temperature-stable strain of Bifidobacterium breve that has been shown to support various aspects of healthy metabolism.
  • Nutiani HN001™—manufactured using a proprietary method that increases stability and helps retain viability, Nutiani HN001 supports a range of benefit claims in immunity, women’s health, skin health, and mood support.
  • Nutiani HN019™—Clinical data suggest that Nutiani HN019 may influence colonic mobility and increased gut transit speed in persons with less frequent bowel movements while supporting immunity.

Postbiotics—A New Frontier in Microbiome Science

Postbiotics

Postbiotics represent a new frontier in microbiome science, broadening our understanding of “biotics” beyond the traditional focus on live microorganisms (probiotics) and their nourishment (prebiotics).

The postbiotics Maypro offers include:

  • KT-11™—an effective immunobiotic for supporting periodontal health, reducing allergy and supporting immunity.
  • L-92®—promotes dermal health, moisture, and comfort, thereby reducing problems associated with eczema. It offers seasonal support for nasal mucosa and ocular comfort and relief from seasonal allergy.
  • Lac-Shield™—A recent placebo-controlled human clinical study of 241 participants, which followed subjects for 12 weeks in the winter season, showed that LAC-Shield significantly reduced the incidence, duration, and severity of symptoms during the cold season and helped subjects maintain a positive mood state, even under stressful conditions.
