Product Description
MegaPre Capsules
Precision Prebiotic for Keystone Gut Bacteria
Clinically Tested Precision Prebiotic
Selectively Feeds Beneficial Bacteria, Enhances Diversity
Reinforces MegaSporeBiotic
Supports healthy immunity, digestion, gut microbiome
Made of nondigestible Oligosaccharides:
- fructooligosaccharides from organic kiwi fruit
- xylooligosaccharides from organic corncob
- galactooligosaccharides from lactose
(This supplement is high in gut beneficial FODMAPS, however it may not be tolerated by individuals requiring a low FODMAP diet.)
Selectively feeds beneficial bacteria like Akkermansia muciniphila, Faecalibacterium prausnitzii, and Bifidobacteria.
It’s important to provide food for the beneficial gut bacteria only and not the the harmful ones. (You want to increase the populations of the beneficial bacteria only!)
Most other prebiotics indiscriminately feed all gut bacteria (good and bad) which can exacerbate digestive issues.
Core Component – REBUILD – of Total Gut Restoration program
MegaPre is a cutting-edge Precision Prebiotic supplement made up of clinically-tested, non-digestible oligosaccharides that can increase microbial diversity and selectively feed beneficial, keystone bacteria like Akkermansia muciniphila, Faecalibacterium prausnitzii, and Bifidobacteria.
Increasing populations of these protective bacteria is an integral part of reinforcing a healthy gut microbiome. Studies have shown that a more diverse gut microbiome is associated with a stronger immune system and a decreased risk for chronic illness.
You can nourish the powerful ecosystem in your gut with MegaPre.
Microbiologist Kiran Krishan gives a simple explanation of how MegaPre selectively feed the good and not the bad bacteria in your gut.
MegaPre Supports Populations of These Beneficial Gut Bacteria
- A. Muciniphila
A. muciniphila plays an important role in metabolism and has been shown to promote fat loss. Low levels of A. muciniphila have been associated with obesity, diabetes, liver disease, cardiometabolic diseases, and low-grade inflammation.
- F. Prausnitzii
F. prausnitzii can increase the production of butyrate, a short-chain fatty acid that can relieve intestinal inflammation. Low levels of F. prausnitzii have been associated with irritable bowel syndrome, inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) like Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, celiac disease, and chronic constipation.
- Bifidobacteria
Bifidobacteria can also increase production of butyrate and promote lean body mass. Low levels of Bifidobacteria have been associated with obesity, diabetes, celiac disease, allergic asthma, dermatitis, IBD, chronic fatigue syndrome, and psoriasis.
What are Prebiotics?
Prebiotics are non-digestible fibers that feed the bacteria living in your gut. However, most prebiotics on the market can feed both harmful and beneficial gut bacteria, which can exacerbate digestive issues.
Keystone bacteria like Akkermansia muciniphila, Faecalibacterium prausnitzii, and Bifidobacteria are very important for human health, but their populations can be easily diminished by antibiotics, stress, diet, glyphosate, and other environmental toxins.
MegaPre was designed to specifically reinforce these keystone strains without feeding the dysbiotic flora.
MegaPre is a Core Component of the 3- Pronged Total Gut Restoration Program from Microbiome Labs
The 3-pronged program is based on:
1. Reconditioning the gut with MegaSporeBiotic 100% bacillus probiotic to increase microbial diversity and encourage growth of key health-promoting, commensal gut bacteria (even during antibiotic therapy).
2. Reinforcing the beneficial microbial changes created by MegaSporeBiotic with MegaPre to promote a strong and diverse microbiome. It is composed of clinically-tested non-digestible oligosaccharides that can increase microbial diversity and selectively feed beneficial bacteria like Akkermansia muciniphila, Faecalibacterium prausnitzii, and Bifidobacteria.
3. Rebuilding the intestinal mucosa/addressing leaky gut with MegaMucosa, containing key amino acids, dairy-free immunoglobulins and citrus-based flavobiotic.
MegaIgG2000, a potent source of dairy-free immunoglobuins, is another option for rebuilding the gut lining.

Health in general starts in the gut.
Hippocrates said it in 400 B.C. and since then modern science has proven it. Any immune dysfunction (auto-immune, allergies, food sensitivities, rashes, psoriasis, eczema, rheumatoid arthritis, gout, etc.) can be traced back to a dysfunction in the GI. Any inflammatory condition can as well.
A healthy body starts with a healthy gut, and too many people are unhealthy because of an unhealthy gut. It’s easy to think of the skin as the body’s barrier to the outside world, but so is the gut.
The gut allows us to interact with the environment (which includes food), taking in what is necessary and beneficial and keeping out (hopefully) what might be unnecessary or harmful.
Now, modern science has shown us that weight control, mood, depression and other mental disorders are also connected to the gut (the second brain). Even chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, cancer, etc. can be traced back to the gut.
Everything starts in the GI.
