Prebiotics are the fuel for for my pychobiotics - Inulin-Type Fructans (ITF) and Galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS), as these are the preferred snacks for Bifidobacterium.
| Category | Top prebiotic sources | Why it works for focus |
|---|---|---|
| The "Big Three" | Garlic, onions leeks | Highest concentration of inulin and FOS to bloom your 1714 strain |
| Root Veggies | Jerusalem Artichoke, Jicama, Chicory Root | Contains nearly 20% inulin by weight; the "superfood" for gut-brain health. |
| Greens & Stems | Asparagus, Dandelion Greens, Seaweed | Provides specialized fibers that help the 1714 strain create its protective "shield" (EPS). |
| Fruits | Slightly Green Bananas, Apples (with skin) | Green bananas are high in resistant starch, which lowers brain-clogging inflammation. |
| Legumes | Lentils, Chickpeas, Kidney Beans | The primary source of GOS, which is the most potent fiber for increasing Bifidobacterium counts. |
How to "Stack" Them for Maximum Clarity
To clear fog faster, follow the "1-2 Punch" protocol used in clinical trials:
-
The Morning Dose: Take your 1714 supplement on an empty stomach with a large glass of water. This allows the bacteria to pass through stomach acid more safely.
-
The Prebiotic Lunch: Include at least two items from the list above in your midday meal.
- Example: A salad with dandelion greens, chickpeas, and a dressing made with raw garlic.
-
The "Mistake" to Avoid: Do not take your 1714 supplement with boiling hot coffee or acidic fruit juices (like orange juice). The heat and high acid can kill the live bacteria before they reach your gut.
