Postbiotics

What are postbiotics?

Postbiotics are the bioactive compounds produced when probiotics (beneficial bacteria) break down prebiotics (fibers). They include peptides, enzymes, short-chain fatty acids, and cell wall fragments.

How are postbiotics different from probiotics and prebiotics?

Prebiotics feed probiotics. Probiotics are live microbes. Postbiotics are the beneficial results of probiotic activity — they’re not alive, but still biologically active.

Are postbiotics naturally found in the body?

Yes! Your gut bacteria produce postbiotics during normal digestion. They're a natural result of a healthy gut microbiome at work.

How are postbiotics made?

Postbiotics are produced during fermentation — either in the gut or in controlled settings using probiotic strains that are then heat-killed or processed to extract beneficial compounds.

Can you get postbiotics from food? If so, which ones?

Yes, especially from fermented foods like yogurt, kimchi, kefir, miso, and sauerkraut. However, the amount varies and isn’t always consistent.

What are the main health benefits of postbiotics?

Postbiotics support gut health, reduce inflammation, strengthen the gut barrier, modulate immunity, and may positively impact brain health.

Do postbiotics support gut health like probiotics do?

Yes, and in some ways more directly. They don’t colonize the gut like probiotics but deliver immediate biological effects like improved digestion and immune balance.

Can postbiotics help with inflammation?

Yes. Many postbiotics, like butyrate, have anti-inflammatory properties and help regulate immune responses in the gut and beyond.

Are postbiotics good for the immune system?

Absolutely. They can stimulate immune cells, support the intestinal lining, and help your body respond better to pathogens.

Do postbiotics have any role in mental health or the gut-brain axis?

Emerging research suggests that certain postbiotics can influence mood, anxiety, and cognition through the gut-brain connection, but more human studies are needed.

Can postbiotics be taken with probiotics or prebiotics?

Yes! They actually complement each other — a combination is often referred to as a synbiotic approach.

Delta-9 THC

What is Delta-9 THC?

Delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is the primary psychoactive compound in cannabis, responsible for the euphoric “high” people often associate with marijuana.

How is Delta-9 THC different from other forms like Delta-8 or CBD?

Delta-9 is more potent and psychoactive than Delta-8. Unlike CBD, Delta-9 directly affects perception and mood by binding to CB1 receptors in the brain.

Is Delta-9 THC naturally found in the cannabis plant?

Yes. It’s one of the most abundant and naturally occurring cannabinoids in both marijuana and hemp varieties of cannabis.

Is Delta-9 THC legal?

Hemp-derived Delta-9 THC is federally legal in the U.S. if the product contains less than 0.3% THC by dry weight. However, legality varies by state.

What’s the difference between hemp-derived and marijuana-derived Delta-9?

Chemically, they’re the same. The difference lies in the source: hemp contains less total THC, while marijuana has higher concentrations and is more strictly regulated.

What are the main effects of Delta-9 THC?

Euphoria, relaxation, altered sensory perception, increased appetite, and, at times, anxiety or paranoia — especially at high doses.

Does Delta-9 THC have any health benefits?

Yes. It may help with pain relief, nausea, appetite loss, sleep issues, and symptoms of anxiety or PTSD (at low doses).

Can Delta-9 THC help with sleep?

Many users report improved sleep and easier falling asleep, though very high doses may disrupt sleep cycles.

Can Delta-9 THC be used daily?

Yes, though regular use may lead to tolerance. Some use it daily for medical or wellness reasons; others prefer occasional use.

Will Delta-9 THC show up on a drug test?

Yes. Standard drug tests screen for THC metabolites, regardless of source.

Can Delta-9 THC be taken with other cannabinoids?

Yes. It’s often combined with CBD or other cannabinoids to enhance or balance the effects through the “entourage effect.”
