According to a 2021 review in *Gastroenterology*, approximately 1 in 20 people in the United States already use a prebiotic, probiotic, or synbiotic supplement. The answer to whether there is a prebiotic and probiotic in one pill is yes, and these combined supplements are officially known as synbiotics. A synbiotic combines beneficial live microorganisms (probiotics) with a substrate that nourishes their growth and activity (prebiotics), aiming for a synergistic effect that goes beyond taking them separately.
