Optimal Dose for Bifidobacteria Increase:
Dose-Dependent Efficacy:
Short-Term Ineffectiveness of High Doses:
The optimal daily intake of prebiotics appears to be around 6 to 10 grams, depending on the type of prebiotic. Specifically, 6 grams of soluble corn fiber and 10 grams of gum arabic have been shown to effectively increase beneficial gut bacteria without significant drawbacks. Higher doses may not provide additional benefits and could be less effective in some cases.
