Probiotics are live beneficial bacteria you add to your gut; prebiotics are the fibres that feed them. They work together — some people take both, or a combined synbiotic — but they're not the same thing.

Not everyone does. Enzymes can help people who find certain foods or heavier meals hard to digest, or who have a diagnosed need. If digestion is generally fine, fibre and a probiotic are usually the more common starting points. Check with your practitioner if you're unsure.

Your liver and kidneys handle most of the body's natural detoxification on their own. Cleanse and detox products are generally used as short-term routines rather than necessities, and results vary. It's worth a word with your practitioner before starting one, especially if you take medication.

Most adults fall short of the recommended daily fibre from food alone, and a supplement can help bridge the gap. Start low and increase gradually with plenty of water to avoid bloating, and follow the product's label.
