What is the difference between a prebiotic, probiotic and postbiotic? Probiotics are friendly bacteria that support gut health, while aiding in digestion. Prebiotics nourish and encourage the activities of those beneficial bacteria, allowing them to thrive.

Most butyrate products available are sodium butyrate, which is primarily metabolized in the small intestine.
