What exactly is a Prebiotic? I know what a Probiotic is.

something that helps the probiotic work more effectively. They stimulate the activity of beneficial bacteria of the intestinal flora....hope that helps!

Yes, that does help. Thank you so much! When I was reading the insert on the FiberChoice, it states that it has a Probiotic which (I think) Linz brought to my attention a while back, but it also has a Prebiotic. I had never heard of it before, myself.

Again, thank you! Heidi
