Prebiotic fiber supplements or prebiotics from food in conjunction with probiotics are key to maintaining a healthy gut & to avoid gut health related issues. When taken with meals, they also help manage the blood sugar spikes and thus sustain energy levels through the day.

The Science Behind Prebiotic
Prebiotics are oligosaccharides defined as "a selectively fermented ingredient that allows specific changes, both in the composition and/or activity in the gastrointestinal microflora that confers benefits upon host well-bring and health.”
Prebiotics thus help aid the growth of beneficial bacteria which in turn help maintain a good gut health. Prebiotics persist towards the lower digestive tract and those areas are the origin of various chronic disease/ disorders. It is thought that gut microflora of this region has a key role to play in helping check onset of such disorders.
Higher insulin levels after meals are the key reason why one feels a slump of energy as the blood glucose levels are regulated by insulin. Supplementation with fiber thus helps to manage this insulin spike after high –GI meals.
Besides acting as food for intestinal microflora, they also help manage blood cholesterol.
