You know that probiotics are the beneficial bacteria in your gut, well, prebiotics are the nutrients that those probiotics need to thrive. You can take a capsule that has a billion live beneficial bacteria in it, but, if there aren’t proper amounts of prebiotics present in your gut than many, if not most, of those probiotics will pass through your digestive tract never having achieved their goal of providing you healthy digestion and boosting your immune system. A crickets exoskeleton is made out of Chitin (pronounced Kai-tin) which, you guessed it, is a prebiotic fiber.
