Each probiotic strain in BFF is carefully chosen for its ability to survive the stomach acid and reach the gut. Plus, they&#8217;ve added Saccharomyces boulardii, a special yeast that can battle Candida<\/span><\/strong>. It\u2019s good for chronic issues such as chronic digestive upset, frequent constipation, chronically poor gut health, or chronic bowel diseases like IBD.\u00a0 It should help during occasional loose stool issues.

Prebiotics help fuel probiotics. Prebiotics are insoluble, indigestible fibers. When your dog eats these fibers, they travel to the colon and the bacteria that live there eat them. (or technically ferment them).\u00a0That\u2019s why prebiotics are so important. They feed the probiotics in your dog\u2019s gut. This helps grow, restore and maintain a healthy gut flora.\u00a0Without prebiotics, probiotics are less effective and can eventually die off.\u00a0\u2028Metabolites are created during fermentation (when probiotics eat prebiotics), the most important of which are <strong>short chain fatty acids, which inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria, act as an energy source for colon cells, keeps cells lining the gut close together to prevent leaky gut, preserve electrolyte and fluid balance, form the protective layer of the gut, build up the immune system, reduce inflammation, protect against food allergens, and help the body absorb nutrients. They also create functional proteins like Enzymes, Peptides, Polysaccharides, Cell surface proteins, and organic acids.\u00a0 All these things are why it works well for chronic digestive issues. They also help with the immune system and leaky gut.<br \/>\n<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><span style=\"color: #008000;\">Organic Inulin from Jerusalem artichoke &#8211;<\/span><\/strong> Jerusalem artichokes, otherwise known as sun chokes, are not related to artichokes.
