Synbiotics represent a combination of probiotics (live beneficial bacteria) and prebiotics (nondigestible food components that feed these bacteria) designed to enhance gut health. The goal of synbiotics is to create a synergistic effect that optimizes the growth and activity of healthy gut bacteria. Research on synbiotics has shown promising results in managing gastrointestinal disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and certain infections. Synbiotics can improve the balance of gut microbiota, enhance immune function, and support nutrient absorption. They are particularly useful in situations where the gut microbiota is disrupted, such as after antibiotic use. Nutritional research continues to explore the potential of synbiotics in broader applications, including metabolic disorders and mental health, as they play a role in the gut-brain axis.
