Some of the beneficial effects of probiotics intake include the improvement of gastrointestinal (GI) health by regulating the microbiota. The intestinal microbiome seems to play a putative role in the fragility and vulnerabilities associated with the aging process. Prebiotics are nondigestible foods that...
It is believed that because different strains of bacteria serve different purposes, having several strains that complement each other is important. This will also help balance the pH of the colon. P R O B I O T I C S 19 Even more effective is combining a probiotic with prebiotics, which...
Prebioticsrefer to a substrate that is selectively utilized by host microorganisms conferring a health benefit. Simply put, prebiotics are “food” for probiotics, which cannot be digested and absorbed by the human body, but can be selectively used by microorganisms in the gut to improve he...
At present, most searches for prebiotics are directed toward the growth of lactic acid–producing microorganisms. This is due to their purported health-promoting properties. However, it may be that future developments in the study of prebiotics may include aspects of their effect on pathogenic flora...
