Abstract :
The human gastrointestinal tract includes a rich and complex microbiota that plays an essential role in the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract, immunological processes and the path of some diseases, including dysbiosis. According to research, the gastrointestinal microbiota can increase or decrease the microbiome population of the skin, nervous system, and other human body parts. Consumption of beneficial dietary supplements is emerging as a potential and promising strategy for regulating the intestinal microbiota and improving its effects. Probiotic supplements can include yeasts, bacteria, and prebiotics, including indigestible polysaccharides of plant, microbial, fungal, and algal origin. The combination of probiotics and prebiotics leads to the production of synbiotic products with stronger effects in improving human health. In addition, postbiotics are metabolic byproducts released from probiotics and, after bacterial degradation, has several beneficial impacts such as regulating intestinal health and strengthening the immune system, like probiotics.
Conclusion: To date, studies have proven the effects of increasing intestinal probiotics, the use of prebiotics and the anticancer, anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects of postbiotics and synbiotics on the gastrointestinal microbiome. Therefore, the preparation of beneficial supplements and their consumption has increased.
