Human Gut Microbiota, Probiotics and Prebiotics Effects
THE GUT MICROBIOTA IS IMPLICATED IN DIVERSE INTERACTIONS AFFECTING HUMAN HEALTH.
YOU CAN SEE BELOW A NEW STUDY BY THE COMPLIFE TEAM ABOUT THE EFFECTS OF INULIN-BASED PREBIOTICS ALONE OR IN COMBINATION WITH PROBIOTICS ON HUMAN GUT MICROBIOTA.
The study reports a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study conducted by administering a new synbiotic formulation composed of two Lactobacillus strains (L. plantarum and L. acidophilus) and one Bifidobacterium strain (B. animalis subsp. lactis) and two types of fructans (fructo-oligosaccharides with a degree of polymerization of 3–5 and inulin-type fructans with 10 DP).
The effects of this synbiotic were evaluated on healthy subjects for 28 days and the maintenance of its efficacy was evaluated at the end of a follow-up period of 28 days.
The synbiotic treatment contributes to higher biodiversity of the gut microbiota, increasing the community richness with respect to the group with the prebiotics alone and the placebo group. Its positive effect is also reflected in the variation of microbial community structure favoring the beneficial short-chain fatty acids bacterial producers.
