Postbiotic vs Probiotic
| Characteristics | Probiotics | Postbiotics |
|---|---|---|
| Essence | Live bacteria (e.g., Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium) | Non-living components (cell components, metabolites) |
| Definition | Live microorganisms that confer health benefits to the host when administered in adequate amounts. | Dead microorganisms (including cell components) and/or their metabolites that confer health benefits to the host. |
| Stability | Low. Sensitive to temperature, humidity, gastric acid, and bile; requires strict storage and transport conditions; prone to inactivation | Extremely high. Resistant to heat, acid, and bile; minimally affected by processing and storage conditions; long shelf life. |
| Mechanism of Action | “Seeding.” Directly colonizes or temporarily resides in the gut, influencing microbial balance through intrinsic activity. | “Signaling.” Directly interacts with host immune cells and intestinal cells to transmit beneficial signals. |
| Onset Speed | Relatively slow, requiring time for colonization and proliferation. | Very rapid, as active ingredients are readily available without waiting for bacterial growth. |
| Safety | Generally safe, but carries potential infection risk for severely immunocompromised individuals | Extremely high. Being dead bacteria or non-living components, no risk of transmission or infection; suitable for broader populations (including newborns, critically ill patients). |
| Primary Benefits | 1. Regulates gut microbiota balance 2. Suppresses harmful bacteria 3. Improves diarrhea/constipation |
1. Modulates immunity (core advantage) 2. Strengthens intestinal barrier 3. Anti-inflammatory 4. Suppresses harmful bacteria |

Advantages of Postbiotic Capsules for Pets
FAQ.
Q: Can postbiotics completely replace probiotics?
A: Postbiotics aren't meant to fully replace probiotics, but rather offer a more stable, reliable, and safer alternative. For most daily support needs, postbiotics are the superior choice. Live probiotics still hold value in specific situations, such as rapidly rebuilding the gut microbiome after antibiotic use.
Q: How do postbiotics work? They aren't alive!
A: That's precisely the ingenuity. Bioactive components in postbiotics—like cell wall fragments—are recognized by the gut's immune cells as “friends,” gently training and modulating the immune system. Other components, such as short-chain fatty acids, directly fuel gut cells and reduce inflammation. It works through ‘signaling’ rather than “colonization.”
Q: How should I administer the postbiotic capsules?
A: Capsules can be fed whole to non-resistant pets or opened and mixed into wet food. Thanks to the postbiotic's stability, it won't degrade upon contact with air or food.
