MegaPre Powder

MegaPre contains non-digestible fibers that support the health and diversity of gut bacteria. Unlike other prebiotics that feed both harmful and beneficial gut bacteria, Mega Prebiotic is specifically designed to reinforce key bacteria without also supporting dysbiotic flora.

What are the key ingredients?

• Organic Fructooligosaccharides sourced from non-GMO green and gold kiwifruit
• Organic Xylooligosaccharides sourced from non-GMO corn cob
• Galactooligosacchardies sourced from rBST-free cow's milk

How does Mega Pre Powder offer immune system support?

Research shows that the ingredients in MegaPre can help support a strong immune system through the production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), which can subsequently stimulate intestinal cells to produce a protective compound known as β-defensin that can help to keep the gut microbiome in balance.

One study found that consuming Livaux® gold kiwifruit concentrate, found in MegaPreTM, could modulate the immune system by increasing the production of T-cells and immunoglobulins, such as IgG, which can help support a balanced gut microbiome.

Another study conducted on the effects of B-GOS on immune function in elderly adults found that the lactose-derived B-GOS significantly increased phagocytosis and natural killer cell activity, two components that are essential for a strong immune system.

What are the benefits?

MegaPre has been shown in studies to significantly modify gut microbiota and improve immune function. Mega Prebiotic has been shown to exhibit the following benefits: ( 1, 2, 3, 4)

When does Dr. Jockers recommend this product?

This product contains a wide array of prebiotic fibers that help foster the development of a healthy and diverse microflora.  I use this with clients who need to improve their gut microbial diversity to reduce inflammation and improve bowel and immune health.

What is the recommended powder dosage?

Ages 2+: Start with 1⁄2 scoop daily with or without a meal for 1 week, then increase to 1 scoop daily with or without a meal, or as directed by your healthcare practitioner. Mix powder with 16 oz or more of cold water, or blend into your favorite smoothie.

For children under 2 years of age, please consult with your healthcare practitioner.
