What are probiotics and prebiotics?Updated 8 days ago

Your cat’s immune system is largely located in the gut – and this is exactly where probiotics and prebiotics play a crucial role in her health, digestion, and resilience 🐱💪

Probiotics = good bacteria

Probiotics are living microorganisms, such as certain lactic acid bacteria or yeasts, that supply your cat’s gut with healthy, beneficial bacteria.
They help to:
✔️ stabilize the balance of the gut flora
✔️ displace harmful germs
✔️ regulate digestion
✔️ strengthen the immune system

Prebiotics = food for the good bacteria

Prebiotics are fibers (e.g. inulin, chicory root) that are not digested by the body itself but serve as food for the “good” gut bacteria.
They promote:
✔️ the growth of beneficial bacteria
✔️ a healthy gut flora
✔️ the stability of the immune system

🧬 Why this is important:

A healthy gut flora is not only good for digestion but affects the entire body: It protects your cat from infections, has anti-inflammatory effects, and can even positively influence behavior (e.g. in cases of stress or restlessness).

Because: Around 80% of the immune system is located in the gut. When the gut flora is strengthened, the immune defenses automatically become more stable and efficient 🛡️🐱

Our gummies with probiotics and prebiotics are formulated to survive the entire manufacturing process and storage unharmed – and only become active in the digestive tract, where they can unfold their positive effects in a targeted way.
