Scientifically reliable information helps you make the best choices for your health. Yet it can be surprisingly difficult to get straight answers on probiotics and prebiotics; an online search can turn up contradictory or confusing information.
The International Scientific Association for Probiotics and Prebiotics (ISAPP)—an organization of scientists with a mission of advancing scientific excellence in the area of probiotics and prebiotics—has you covered. As part of its educational activities worldwide, ISAPP has developed a series of infographics to help you understand some of the important points about both probiotics and prebiotics as well as fermented foods.
