Dietary Fibre
Plant-based foods contain a variety of dietary fibres. These special oligo- and polysaccharides are fermented by the numerous bacterial strains in the gut collectively known as the microbiome. Scientific studies have shown that dietary fibre exhibits different properties depending on the plant from which it was isolated, with each type serving as a source of food for specific bacterial species (e.g., Bacteroidetes, Firmicutes, Lactobacilli or Bifidobacteria). Oligosaccharides (such as glucomannan, pectins and XOS) are metabolised relatively quickly due to their short-chain structure, while long-chain and branched-chain polysaccharides (such as psyllium husks, acacia fibre, beta-glucans and olive pomace) are metabolised much more slowly. Focusing on the intake of a variety of dietary fibres therefore seems to be key.
Prebioma Complexes

With its 14 carefully selected sources of fibre, our Prebioma Complete provides the advantages of a wide spectrum of dietary fibres. Includes konjac, inulin, oat beta-glucans, XOS, GOS, FOS, RS4, gum arabic, apple pectin, Livaux® and green olives. Prebioma Sensitive contains a reduced selection of 5 particularly gentle dietary fibres for individuals sensitive to the intake of fibre.
Psyllium Husks
Psyllium seed husks are the shells of the seeds of the plantain species Plantago indica/ovata. These small seeds spring up when the fruits of the plant are ripe, resembling fleas; this is what gives the plant its name ("psulla" is Greek for flea). Primarily the husks of the seed contain the valuable, mucous-forming fibre (mucilage), which swells up when in contact with liquid, forming a gel-like substance. Psyllium husks have been an important part of traditional Indian culture for over 2,000 years and have been used in Europe since ancient times.
