Yeah. So let's zoom out for a moment and just sort of address prebiotics, probiotics, and postbiotics.
Yeah. So let's zoom out for a moment and just sort of address prebiotics, probiotics, and postbiotics.
Yeah. So let's zoom out for a moment and just sort of address prebiotics, probiotics, and postbiotics.
It's something I wanted to talk about. Okay, perfect. Yeah. So everyone has heard of probiotics. By definition, probiotics are living microorganisms that provide benefits to human health. All right. But now you probably are starting to see in your supermarket the word prebiotic. This is starting to show up. What is that? Well, that is food for our gut bacteria.

So in other words, this is basically something that powers the probiotic bacteria. And then we get a benefit as a result of that. Postbiotics is the third. And postbiotics is what they produce. That's actually what really matters is the postbiotic. But in order to get there, you have to basically combine prebiotics and probiotics. You have to put them together.

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.
