PREBIOTICS – THE FOOD AND THE FERTILISER FOR YOUR GOOD GUT BACTERIA

Did you know there are three main types of biotics? Probiotics, prebiotics and postbiotics.

Probiotics are live bacteria that hang out in your gut. They like to eat prebiotics. That process creates the postbiotics that include vital vitamins and compounds that help your body run at its best

Prebiotics are the food and the fertiliser for your good gut bacteria. They’re found in certain everyday foods, so no supplements required! Happy days.

BellyBiotics subscription boxes help you weave more prebiotic foods into your life. Plus, the products you get are super-tasty!

Each month, you get a box including prebiotic and gut health inspired sweet and savoury snacks, cooking ingredients and drinks. Each month is different so you get to try lots of new and existing products on the market. We spend a lot of time on product selection!

There’s also a handy magazine to help you learn while you learn. Learn more about food, what’s in it and how it helps your gut and overall health. Plus get ideas and practical tips on how to eat more prebiotic foods.

PREBIOTIC DIET IDEAS

Hi. We’re BellyBiotics.

Gut health is our passion.

BellyBiotics came to be because we were looking for a monthly subscription ourselves and didn’t find what we were looking for. We wanted something that would help educate and inspire us when it comes to gut health – and included products to try. We couldn’t find anything that ticked all of the boxes. So we created our own. If we’re doing it for ourselves then why not share them with you too?

We like to eat food that’s gut supporting, natural and not full of sugar and other added ingredients. That’s partly how we pick the products we send you.
