So when we put them together, then like, for example, you take fiber and you combine it with healthy gut bacteria. And what gets produced by that are the short chain fatty acids. butyrate, acetate, and propionate. Fiber by itself would just run through you. It would do nothing. Microbes without fiber, they can't produce something from nothing.

But when you combine the two, fiber plus the gut microbes, you get this beautiful thing that can power your health. All right, so I tend to favor the prebiotics. It's not to say that there's no value for probiotics. We can dig into that more if you want to. I'm happy to do that. There's definitely value to probiotics. But I tend to favor as a first line approach, the prebiotics.

The reason why is because what I'm saying is that if you have the probiotics, but you don't have the fiber, you can't make anything. What's missing is the fiber. So if we bring the fiber, we can actually grow the probiotics. So the ingredients that exist within 38 Terra are daily microbiome nutrition.

have human clinical studies to show that they increase bifidobacteria, eckermansia, and fecal bacterium. And these are three probiotic forms of bacteria that you actually grow as a result of taking the product. So I guess the point from my perspective, Nick, is that I'd like to start with the concept of feeding them with the prebiotics. In terms of the probiotics, it's a targeted approach.

So it kind of depends on what you're trying to accomplish. There is a role there, but my supplementation protocol starts with prebiotics.

All right. So first of all, the reason why it's probably destroying your gut is it's too many CFUs. So you're opting for a more is better approach, but it's probably overwhelming your innate microbiome. And the result of that is like everything's upset as a result of that. So we have to zoom out and sort of like, let me present the way that I would approach this if I were you. Okay.

So you have a unique microbiome that is distinctly yours. There's no one on the planet with the same microbiome as you. I can't tell you whether a probiotic is going to be good for you. or be net neutral, meaning it does literally nothing, or actually be harmful and cause trouble for you. I can't tell you that until you try.
