Problem
Existing prebiotic supplements, primarily composed of carbohydrates, often lack the specificity to effectively nourish desired probiotic strains within the gut microbiome. This can lead to inconsistent results and a limited impact on overall gut health and well-being. Furthermore, a significant portion of ingested protein fails to reach the gut, where the majority of microorganisms reside.
Solution
PREEBIO is developing a novel class of protein-based prebiotics designed to selectively target and promote the growth of specific beneficial bacteria in the gut. By combining protein peptides with prebiotic carbohydrates, PREEBIO's products offer a more precise and effective approach to modulating the gut microbiome. This targeted action enhances the growth of probiotic bacteria known to improve digestion, strengthen the immune system, and reduce inflammation. The modular design allows for customized combinations of carbohydrates and proteins, enabling personalized nutrition solutions tailored to individual needs.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes individuals seeking to improve their gut health, digestion, and overall well-being through targeted prebiotic supplementation.
