Prebiotic vs Probiotic? Sugar Free Gummies?

 Quick blog review of a sample bottle of BeLive PREbiotic Fiber Gummies I was given. They are super soft and easy to chew with a natural apple flavor. I know I said PRObiotic gummies in the Youtube video but there IS a difference is how the pre/pro work in your gut.


 "Probiotics are “good” bacteria that help keep your digestive system healthy by controlling growth of harmful bacteria. Prebiotics are carbohydrates that cannot be digested by the human body. They are food for probiotics. ... The common feature of all these foods is fermentation, a process that produces probiotics."


 Chicory root is the prebiotic used as food for the good bacteria and it can give some digestive upset if ingested in large amounts, like what happens when you eat those delicious but devilish FiberOne brand snacks. Daily serving is ONE of these gummies with the warning not to eat more than 8 in a 24 hour period. Because digestive upset, trust me.


3.3g carbs and 1.6g fiber so I'd say one a day is keto friendly though the keto diet should have you ingesting a lot of fiber.

 I know the label says Keep Out of Reach of Children but I've given Cedric a few. He was fine. Now, it would be easy to eat the entire jar like candy so there's where the problem starts.
