# Prebiotics: how they feed your good bacteria and why they matter Canonical: https://www.mojohealth.net/lp/detox/prebiotics Product: [MOJO™ DETOX Capsules](https://www.mojohealth.net/products/mojo-detox-gut-health-probiotic-digestive-support-daily-cleanse-supplement) > Prebiotics explained: what they are, how they work, and why inulin and konjac fibre matter for gut health. Prebiotics are a type of fibre that your body cannot digest, but your gut bacteria can—and when they do, they thrive. They are the food source that keeps beneficial bacteria alive and active, which means better digestion, improved nutrient absorption, and a more balanced microbiome. MOJO™ DETOX Capsules pair prebiotic fibres—inulin and konjac—with 8 billion probiotics and liver-support compounds, so you are feeding the good bacteria and protecting your gut at the same time. ## The difference between prebiotics and probiotics Probiotics are live bacteria themselves. Prebiotics are the fibre those bacteria eat to stay healthy and reproduce. You need both working together: probiotics deliver the good bacteria, but without prebiotics to feed them, they cannot do their job. That is why prebiotic fibres like inulin and konjac matter—they are the fuel tank your microbiome runs on. When you get this balance right, your digestion improves, your immune system gets stronger, and your gut stays settled. When you don't, bloating, sluggish bowel movements and poor nutrient absorption follow. ## What inulin and konjac fibre do Inulin is a naturally occurring prebiotic fibre found in plants. It passes through your stomach untouched, reaches your colon intact, and becomes food for your beneficial bacteria. As they ferment it, they produce short-chain fatty acids that support colon health and reduce inflammation. Konjac fibre works similarly—it bulks your stool, slows transit time, and gives your good bacteria time to work. Together, inulin and konjac support digestive comfort and regular bowel movements without the harshness of a laxative. ## Why prebiotic fibres reduce bloating Bloating usually means two things: gas from poor bacterial balance, and food sitting too long in your gut. Prebiotic fibres feed the right bacteria, which outcompete the gas-producing ones. At the same time, soluble fibres like konjac absorb water and bulk your stool, so food moves through efficiently rather than fermenting and creating bloat. The result is a flatter, lighter feeling—often within days of consistent use. ## How prebiotics support your liver and detox pathways A healthy gut microbiome is not just about digestion. When your gut bacteria are well-fed and balanced, they produce compounds that support liver function and help your body process and eliminate toxins more effectively. Poor gut health puts extra strain on your liver; prebiotic and probiotic support takes that load off. That is why detox formulas that ignore prebiotics miss half the picture. ## What is in MOJO™ DETOX Capsules - Prebiotic Fibres (Inulin and Konjac Fibre)—nourish beneficial bacteria and support digestive comfort. - Multi-Strain Probiotics —8 billion CFU including Lactobacillus Acidophilus, Lactobacillus Lactis, Lactobacillus Salivarius, and Bifidobacterium Bifidum to support gut flora balance and digestion. - Psyllium Husk —supports stool bulk and digestive flow. - NAC and Alpha-Lipoic Acid —support liver detox pathways and antioxidant defence. - Turmeric, Senna, Rhubarb Root Extract and Fennel —support bowel regularity, reduced bloating, and digestive ease. - Cranberry and Sea Buckthorn Extract —support gut lining integrity and antioxidant balance.

Anyone who drinks alcohol regularly, travels often, or eats an unpredictable diet—all of these disrupt your microbiome. Anyone doing a gut reset or parasite protocol. Anyone who wants a cleaner, lighter feeling and better digestive efficiency without harsh laxatives or extreme protocols. ## Frequently asked questions ### What is the difference between a prebiotic and a probiotic? Probiotics are live beneficial bacteria. Prebiotics are the fibre those bacteria eat to survive and thrive. You need both: probiotics seed your gut, prebiotics feed them. Without prebiotics, probiotic benefits fade quickly. ### Can I get enough prebiotics from food? Prebiotics are found in foods like garlic, onions, asparagus and chicory. Most people do not eat enough of these regularly. A formula like MOJO™ DETOX delivers a concentrated dose consistently, so you are never short. ### Will prebiotics make me bloated at first? Prebiotic fibres can cause temporary gentle fermentation as your bacteria adjust. Start with one capsule and increase to two after a few days. Staying well hydrated helps. Most people feel less bloated, not more, once their microbiome settles. ### How long before I notice a difference? Some people feel smoother digestion and reduced bloating within days. Deeper gut and detox support builds with consistent daily use over weeks. ### Can I take prebiotics every day? Yes. Consistent daily use supports optimal gut balance and detox over time. MOJO™ DETOX is designed for regular use without dependency or tolerance build-up. ### Do I need prebiotics if I already take probiotics? If your probiotics do not include prebiotics, they are working without fuel. Pairing them gives you the complete picture—the bacteria and the food they need to thrive. ## Why MOJO™ DETOX Capsules Prebiotics work, but only if the beneficial bacteria are there to use them.
