Factors influencing susceptibility and resilience to developing PTSD are not yet fully understood, and identifying and understanding all these contributing factors could in future contribute to better treatments, especially since the microbiome can easily be altered with the use of prebiotics (non-digestible food substances), probiotics (live, beneficial microorganisms), and

The
combination of probiotics and prebiotics is called a
synbiotic, and by adding a prebiotic fiber in the blend we give the microorganisms a boost, by feeding them food that stimulates their activity and multiplication.
