Duphalac® helps to promote the growth of ‘good bacteria’ in the gut. It may also suppress the growth of ‘bad bacteria’. This can lead to an improvement in the balance of the intestinal flora.4,10
Unlike probiotics, in which ‘good bacteria’ are introduced into the gut, prebiotics promote the growth of the good bacteria that is already present in the gut by increasing their food supply.4,10
Suppressing the growth of bad bacteria can lead to many health-promoting effects4 such as improved digestion and absorption of essential nutrients such as magnesium and calcium.10
