Synbiotics
Probiotics + Prebiotics
Last reviewed: June 2026 · Medically reviewed by a licensed pharmacist
What it does
Synbiotics combine probiotics (beneficial bacteria) with prebiotics (the fibres that feed them), a two-in-one approach to a balanced gut. A healthy microbiome does more than aid digestion: it's in constant conversation with the brain via the gut-brain axis, and reviews link this balance to mood, sleep, and overall resilience.
The science
Synbiotics combine live probiotic strains with prebiotic fibres to improve gut microbiome diversity, immune function, and digestive health.
Most relevant for
Bloating and digestion, post-antibiotic recovery, and the gut-mood connection.
