Exactly, right?
Right.
Yeah.
So why not?
Look, if it's the prebiotics that are good for you, why not take prebiotic pills?
Why not just take a prebiotic powder, right?
Problem is, is that, you know, we talk about dietary fiber, but actually that term dietary fiber is literally covers thousands of different compounds, right?
And so there's actually thousands of different dietary fibers and they each feed the growth of different
probiotic, good bugs in our gut.
And so it's actually this diversity of all these indigestible plant carbohydrates.
That's what dietary fiber is, indigestible by our small intestine, makes it down to our large intestine.
So we cannot be replicated.
So there's been experiments using something like psyllium, always a very common fiber supplement.
It can help with
relaxation, help with like... Releasing the stool.
Regularity, right?
But does not have all these side benefits because it's not actually digestible, fermentable by a good gut bugs.
It just kind of goes through us.
And so we have yet to capture the complexity of the natural food matrix in actual kind of pill form.
