Its positive prebiotic effects are currently undergoing preclinical assessment. “Not all prebiotics are equal,” explains Udi Alroy, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of CarobWay. “While many fibers on the market can cause some level of stomach discomfort, CarobBiome is specifically designed to ease bloating and maintain a happy tummy. Moreover, it is completely natural, vegan and allows for a clean, simple ingredients label. It also is highly nutritious.”
