The world’s best probiotic deserves the world’s best prebiotic.
PRObiotics are the actual microbes themselves. PREbiotics are what the microbes (probiotics) like to eat. POSTbiotics are the product of the pre and probiotics, and that’s the work of the microbes; you don’t need postbiotics if you have good prebiotics and probiotics.
There is a study showing that combining inulin (a plant with extremely high amounts of fiber) with resistant starch (resistant to digestion by you – not resistant to digestion by the microbes in your gut), like potato starch, has a synergistic effect; the benefit is greater than the sum of its parts. Combining diverse amounts of fiber, that contain different fermentation rates, with potato starch, makes a super-prebiotic.
“Combining fructooligosaccharides (i.e., inulin powder) with resistant starch (i.e., potato starch) could produce gut health benefits beyond the mere sum of the parts.” List of highest fiber foods here.
We’ve taken the top five fiber-containing plants (save the exotic & rare mushrooms), along with some potato starch (insoluble fiber – what the microbes eat too), and combined them into ONE supplement.

One can’t reach the full benefit of taking a standard fiber supplement because diversity is king. A mere four tablespoons of this supplement contains about 36 grams of fiber, which is MORE than your entire daily recommended amount! The FDA’s recommendations are too small to keep your gut healthy. From the book, Fiber Fueled, by Dr. Will Bulsiewicz, indigenous people living in the Amazon rainforest consume around 100-150 grams of fiber each day, and non-communicable diseases are unheard of.
Suggested dose for rebiosis: 1 spoonful in water.
Suggested dose for advanced protocol and to reduce insulin spines: Mix 1 teaspoon in of water first thing in the morning, before each meal, and before bed. This will feed the microbes, and, if taken before meals, it will reduce insulin spikes, which we all need to do.
Note: If you aren’t used to eating much fiber, start with a small dose (i.e., 1 teaspoon in water) and gradually increase as tolerated (making sure to also increase your water consumption). As always, consult your healthcare provider.
| Plant | Grams of fiber per 100 grams |
| Inulin from Jerusalem Artichoke | 100 |
| Inulin from Chicory Root | 80 |
| Psyllium Husk Powder | 77.3 |
| Wheat Dextrin | 77.3 |
| Chia seeds | 34.4 |
| Potato Starch – Video | 0 |
Read Fiber Fueled by Dr. Will Bulsiewicz, MD to learn how important fiber is. Of ALL the books on the Microbiome, I would recommend two of them. This is ONE of them!
If you are getting enough diverse fiber (30 plants a week & 30+ grams/day) and you eat so clean that your insulin spikes are minimal, you do not need this product.
Q. Can I use this to reduce my insulin spikes? (using the principle of fiber first – food eating order)
A. Yes, in fact, we did our own study on that, the results of which you can read about here.
Q. Can I use this as a laxative?
A. Consult your health care practitioner. According to a new study by the American Academy of Neurology, people who regularly use, Osmotic, Stimulants, or Stool softeners have a 50-64% greater probability of getting dementia. This is neither of those types.
Long answer: There are four types of laxatives on the market:
Bulk-forming laxatives work by increasing the “bulk” or weight of poo, which in turn stimulates your bowel. They take 2 or 3 days to work. This is the type of laxative the Mighty Microbe Meal is.
Osmotic laxatives draw water from the rest of the body into your bowel to soften poo and make it easier to pass.
They take 2 or 3 days to work.
They include:
These stimulate the muscles that line your gut, helping them to move poo along to your back passage.
They take 6 to 12 hours to work.
They include:
This type of laxative works by letting water into poo to soften it and make it easier to pass.
They include:
