By feeding the good bacteria inside your gut, prebiotics help gut bugs produce short
chain fatty acids and other metabolites. These fatty acids help to:
- Regulate the pH level inside the gut. A lower, more acidic pH keeps less-
favourable microbes in check [1].
- Feed the cells lining the gut. A healthy gut barrier prevents the development of
increased intestinal permeability AKA “leaky gut”.
- Optimise immune defences and enhance disease resistance [1].
- Influence fat, glucose, and cholesterol metabolism [2].
- Communicate with the brain to influence depression and mental health [3].
In addition, the prebiotic fibres themselves have benefits too. They have been shown
to [4]:
- Promote healthy bowel movements.
- Help regulate blood sugar balance and energy levels.
- Reduce cravings by helping you feel fuller for longer.

Prebiotic Restore is a cutting-edge blend of:

- Actazin® the patented form of actinidin, a natural digestive enzyme derived from
green kiwifruit. Actazin® is proven to enhance protein digestion, ease bloating
and uncomfortable fullness, and improve bowel regularity [5].

- Livaux® a unique prebiotic found in the golden kiwi, proven to support levels of
the probiotic bacteria Faecalibacterium Prausnitzii (F. Prausnitzii). F. Prausnitzii
produces butyrate, a short chain fatty acid that acts as fuel for gut cells and as
an important signalling molecule between the gut and the brain.
Each daily dosage (2 capsules) provides 600mg of Actazin® and 600mg Livaux® –
the clinically effective doses of each active ingredient.

No, they are not the same thing.

Probiotics are beneficial strains of bacteria and yeast that are good for our health.
The name “probiotic” translates as “pro-life” (“bio” meaning “life”).

You can find probiotics in foods like natural live yoghurt, kefir, and kimchi, or in
supplements like our Advanced Biotic.

Prebiotics feed the probiotics. They’re like compost in a garden, providing
nourishment to the plants. Without prebiotics, the probiotic bacteria struggle to thrive.

Low numbers of probiotics mean that more harmful strains of bacteria grow instead.

We need both probiotics and prebiotics for good gut health. Prebiotics feed the
probiotics, and the probiotics rely on this nourishment to survive and thrive.

Yes, prebiotics and probiotics work in synergy with one another to support gut health.
The prebiotic provides food for the probiotic, helping it flourish and grow.
Our Digestive Bundle contains prebiotics, probiotics, and digestive enzymes for
complete gut support.

Like all types of fibre, prebiotics need to be taken with plenty of water. The fibre
soaks up the water to help form poops that are soft and easy-to-pass. Not drinking
enough water will make constipation worse whether you use a prebiotic or not.

No, Prebiotic Restore does not need to be refrigerated and can be safely stored at
room temperature.

When taken as directed Prebiotic Restore is generally well tolerated. Those with a
sensitive digestion may experience a mild upset stomach, wind, or bloating but this
should settle down in a few days.
Do not use this product if you have a latex allergy. Kiwifruits contain similar proteins
to latex and can potentially trigger an allergic response.
