The Importance of Full-Spectrum Prebiotics

One of the questions I’m asked most often is “how is Prebiotin’s Oligofructose-Enriched Inulin product different from inulin” or “FOS” Very often followed by “Because I can buy Inulin/FOS for a lot less…”

True. You can buy inulin or generic FOS for a bit less. And there’s a reason: the full-spectrum prebiotic we use in Prebiotin is more researched, more effective and just a better choice than these simple prebiotics. Yes, it’s a little more expensive, but we don’t believe in marketing a “good enough” or “second-best” product.

Why is it better? The special all-natural plant-derived compound we use in Prebiotin – oligofructose-enriched-inulin or “OEI” for short – impacts the entire colon, not just some of it as does plain inulin or oligosaccharide alone.

Think of it this way… If you had a sinus infection, and the doctor offered you an antibiotic that worked only on the left side of your nose, an antibiotic that only worked on the right side of your nose, or an antibiotic that worked on both sides, your choice would be clear, right?

That’s exactly the difference between a simple prebiotic and a full-spectrum prebiotic like Prebiotin. Here’s why:

  • Prebiotics come in short-chain and long-chain forms, which simply indicates how many links are in each molecule.
  • Short-chain prebiotics like FOS have between 2 and 8 links, Short chain prebiotics are fermented quickly in the right side of the colon to nourish the good bacteria there,
  • Long-chain prebiotics like Inulin have from 9 to 64 links. Long chain prebiotics persist through to the left colon and are fermented there.
  • But OEI is a ‘full spectrum prebiotic’ and has the whole range, including molecules ranging from 2 to 64 links. As a full-spectrum prebiotic, with short- and long-chain molecules, Prebiotin’s OEI nourishes the entire colon

So as simply as possible, that’s the exact answer. We use OEI because it’s a more impactful prebiotic, pure and simple. And it also happens to be the most researched prebiotic too. Just head to our prebiotics research page at Prebiotin.com to see more about that.
