Probiotics come in different species (the first part of the name of each one) and strains, and we need a variety. Like other living organisms, they need food—in the form of prebiotics. To keep track of these terms, “pre” comes before “pro,” and probiotic or...
Synbiotics work together to improve immunity and intestinal health by combining probiotics and prebiotics. Postbiotics have also demonstrated numerous health advantages, such as bioactive molecules created during probiotic fermentation. According to a recent study, PPSPs can regulate the synthesis of ...
Prebiotics have been shown to play an influential role in irritable bowel symptoms/disease, colon cancer, cardiovascular disease and overall digestive health. Together, various types of fibres and prebiotics have been targeted and synthesised to influence the gut microbiome, specifically Lactobacillus and...
When they are used together, scientists callproandprebiotics “synbiotics.” One study found that probiotics may have potential for preventing a large range of immunity-related diseases that are caused by inflammation. Because inflammation leads to many diseases and health issues, the fact that probio...
"A preparation of or a product containing viable, defined microorganisms in sufficient numbers, which alter the microflora (by implantation or colonization) in a compartment of the host and by that exert beneficial health effects in this host."1 Related concepts of prebiotics and synbiotics have al...

Over the past decade, researchers have suggested the importance of classifying prebiotic fibers hierarchically by the specificity of their impact on the gut microbiota, which seems driven by their molecular complexity. In short, fiber structure matters. Prebiotics are fibers and o...
Fast Food:The meats and fried foods common to fast food restaurants feed bad bacteria and starve the good bacteria of fiber andprebioticsthat they need to live on. Over-The-Counter Medications:Anti-inflammatories such as ibuprofen and acetaminophen are highly damaging to gut linings and the benef...
Common chicory (C. intybus L.) is a source of biologically relevant elements (potassium, iron, calcium), vitamins (A, B1, B2, C), as well as bioactive compounds (inulin, sesquiterpene lactones, coumarin derivatives, cichoric acid, phenolic acids), which exert potent prohealth effects.(Janda...
