- Product Background
- The enormous and complex community of bacteria that populate our gastrointestinal tract, termed the gut microbiota, are well known to play a key role in maintaining host health and metabolic balance.
- Recent findings have revealed the roles of the gut microbiota in the modulation of host immunity and the development and progression of certain diseases.
- The supplementation of prebiotics, important gut health ingredients, is essential for optimal gut microbiota function.
- The positive effects of prebiotics on microbial growth and activity have been well studied, in particular regarding their ability to feed and sustain beneficial microbial colonies while helping to suppress harmful ones.
- The primary action of this bacterial fermentation of prebiotics in the lower intestine is the production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs).
