What sets Benicaros apart from other prebiotics?
What makes this fiber so unique, is the complexity of its structure. This ‘just right’ structure enables our ingredient to precisely modulate the gut microbiota composition so that it leads not only to a healthier gut ecosystem, but also enables various health benefits, this is why we call it a precision prebiotic.
How Benicaros works
Clinical research demonstrates Benicaros®’ dual mechanism of action both trains faster, smarter and stronger innate immune responses and selectively increases the growth of beneficial microbes in the core gut microbiota common to most people.
It accomplishes these twin goals with significantly less gas production – a normal byproduct of fiber fermentation – than traditional prebiotics.
Since its introduction in 2021, Benicaros has won several industry awards.
