prebiotics
MegaPre
MegaPre is a 'precision' prebiotic designed to increase microbial diversity by feeding keystone bacteria like Akkermansia muciniphila, Faecalibacterium prausnitzii, and Bifidobacteria. It uses a unique blend of non-digestible oligosaccharides that are clinically shown to avoid feeding dysbiotic (harmful) bacteria.
Quality & Materials
A blend of Galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS), Xylo-oligosaccharides (XOS), and Fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) derived from organic kiwi and non-GMO corn.
Evidence & Testing
The formulation is based on the findings of the 'Human Microbiome Project' and focuses on increasing 'keystone' species that are often missing in modern guts.
Brand Transparency
Primarily sold through practitioners, ensuring a high standard of professional oversight, though individual COAs are less accessible to the public than retail brands.
Value Assessment
It is one of the most expensive prebiotics on the market ($50+), but its precision makes it a top choice for clinical-grade gut restoration.
Why Not Alternatives?
Generic prebiotics can worsen SIBO or dysbiosis by feeding the 'bad' bacteria. MegaPre's specific chain lengths (GOS, XOS, FOS) are selected to selectively feed beneficial strains only, a critical distinction for those with existing gut issues.
