Learn about prebiotics, the gut microbiome, and more.

What are prebiotics?

Prebiotics are non-digestible food components — primarily dietary fibers — that pass through the upper gastrointestinal tract and reach the colon, where they may serve as substrates for the gut microbiota.

For general informational purposes only. Not medical advice.

Common types of prebiotics

Inulin & FOS

Fructooligosaccharides — found in chicory root, garlic, onion, leek, and asparagus.

Beta-glucan

A soluble fiber found in oats, barley, and certain mushroom varieties.

Resistant starch

Resists digestion in the small intestine; found in legumes, green banana, and cooled cooked starches.

Pectin

A soluble fiber found in apple, citrus peel, and berries.

Arabinoxylan

Present in whole grains, including wheat bran and psyllium husk.

GOS

Galactooligosaccharides found in legumes and certain dairy products.

How the score is calculated

Your score is based on two factors: variety (the number of distinct prebiotic-containing foods you eat) and richness (how fiber-dense each food is, rated 1–10). Maximum is 100 per day.

This score is illustrative only and is not a clinical measure of gut health.

Plant species diversity

The Plant Species Log tracks the number of unique plant species you consume each week — including foods with lower prebiotic scores. This count is distinct from the prebiotic score, which focuses specifically on prebiotic fiber content and richness.
