Postbiotics - Supplements For Gut & Immune Health

About Postbiotics

Support your gut with the next evolution of microbiome science — Postbiotics, available at Coal Harbour Pharmacy. Unlike probiotics (live bacteria) and prebiotics (fibers that feed them), postbiotics are the beneficial compounds created during fermentation. These bioactive nutrients help strengthen the gut lining, regulate inflammation, and support immune balance.

Postbiotics are stable, shelf-safe, and well tolerated — making them ideal for individuals sensitive to live probiotics.

WHAT ARE POSTBIOTICS?

Postbiotics are the non-living metabolites produced when probiotics break down prebiotic fibers in the gut.

They include:

• Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs)

• Bioactive peptides

• Enzymes

• Cell wall fragments

• Exopolysaccharides

Although they are not live bacteria, they deliver many of the same health-supporting benefits — often with improved stability.
