The gut microbiome not only supports digestion, helps with the absorption of nutrients and contributes to the production of essential vitamins, but also plays a central role in your immune system. Postbiotics in particular play a central role in supporting your health in a whole new way in the future.
But how do postbiotics actually work?
1. Antibacterial effect
2. Strengthening the intestinal barrier and regulating the microbiome
Postbiotics regulate the balance of good and harmful bacteria in the intestine. They therefore contribute to the health of intestinal cells and strengthen the intestinal barrier. According to current studies, a healthy microbiome supports metabolism, reduces inflammation and can thus reduce the risk of metabolic diseases such as diabetes.
3. Effect throughout the body
Postbiotics have the potential to promote your health in many ways through their positive effects on the gut and immune system. They are increasingly viewed as a promising addition to probiotics and prebiotics in nutrition and health research.
The future of intestinal health does not only depend on living bacteria – postbiotics can also have a great impact.
