Ibedex
To strengthen microorganisms in the intestine.
The microbiome can be positively influenced by prebiotics, because prebiotics provide a good nutritional and growth basis for certain "desirable" bacterial strains in the large intestine. The proliferation of these strains means that undesirable (disease-causing) germs cannot spread any further and are displaced.
In contrast to probiotics, prebiotics are not living bacteria, but indigestible fiber. This is the only reason why they can pass through the stomach and small intestine "unhindered" and reach the large intestine. Feeding prebiotics is also a good way to support a diet: they regulate blood sugar levels because they make it more difficult to absorb usable carbohydrates. Bile acids and ammonia are also bound in the intestine and excreted more easily, which relieves the strain on the liver and kidneys

Inulin (Prebiotic) Inulin belongs to the genus of prebiotics, i.e. oligosaccharides that cannot be digested by the body's own enzymes and thus represent a fermentable substrate for the bacteria of the intestinal flora. Inulin can promote the growth of beneficial intestinal bacteria such as Enterococcus faecium - pathogenic germs, however, are not supported. Because of this, inulin is said to have a positive effect on the immune system. If inulin is metabolized by intestinal bacteria such as Enterococcus faecium, organic acids are released. These have a stabilizing effect on the intestinal microbiota. Tests on puppies have also shown that inulin added to food leads to a reduced colonization of salmonella.
Psyllium Husks (Plantago ovata) The shell of the Indian psyllium seed has a strong natural swelling effect. The seed can absorb up to 40 times its own weight in water. Once in contact with water, it forms a protective layer of mucus. This forms a film on the mucous membrane of the stomach and esophagus. In the intestine, psyllium seed husks can bind the excess fluid. This thickens the stool and regulates the stool discharge in a natural way.
Microcrystalline Cellulose Microcrystalline cellulose is obtained from plant fibers and is not absorbed or digested by the body. Dietary fiber such as microcrystalline cellulose regulates digestion and promotes healthy intestinal flora. Beneficial intestinal bacteria can multiply and form important short-chain fatty acids.
