Probiotics - the bacteria that colonise your digestive tract, necessary for healthy bowel function, and also for the provision of some vitamins eg vitamin K.Prebiotics - the food that supports the growth and colonisation of healthy bacteria, such as good quality fibre eg pectin, oat bran, psyllium husks, slippery elm bark.Often probiotics and prebiotics are packaged together so that the bacteria have the food they need to encourage colonisationin the bowel.
