Patient-Friendly Explanation

Prebiotics are special types of dietary fibre that feed the beneficial bacteria in your gut. A healthy gut microbiome may help with weight control by improving metabolism and reducing inflammation.

Clinical Definition

Prebiotics, such as inulin and fructooligosaccharides, selectively stimulate the growth of beneficial gut bacteria, which produce short-chain fatty acids that enhance satiety hormone secretion and improve insulin sensitivity.

Why It Matters

Incorporating prebiotic-rich foods into your diet supports gut health and may enhance the effectiveness of a weight management programme at NuLifeCare Singapore.
