What is pro, pre, syn, postbiotics?

As the interest and popularity of human microbiome and beneficial probiotics have increased, the classification of lactic acid bacteria has increased.

'Probiotics' was defined as 'living bacteria' with the expectation that if you eat live bacteria, the beneficial bacteria will live up to the intestines and multiply to suppress harmful bacteria.

In addition, 'prebiotics' was created with the concept of feeding the beneficial bacteria to proliferate the beneficial bacteria already living in the intestine.

'Synbiotics' was created because of the idea that it would be better to intake the beneficial bacteria and the food of them together, and now, 'postbiotics' including substances produced by the beneficial bacteria through metabolic activities is in vogue.

In the opinion that dead bacteria is more effective in immunity and safety, even 'parabiotics', meaning to consume dead bacteria, have appeared.

However, it means that we have deviated from the idea that only 'live bacteria' are effective for us.

The market of various bacterial materials has been forming and experts who speak only living lactic acid bacteria is beneficial for us have being decreased.

Rather, there are opinions that metabolites can stimulate immune cells more quickly, and in terms of safety and stability, to consume dead bacteria is more ideal than living bacteria.

In addition, as side effects of live bacteria are reported, to consume dead bacteria may be safer in intaking large amounts of bacteria.

The era of saying 'probiotics must be alive for health!' is over.

With the latest research trends and verified effects, now it is time to choose products which make us consume the active ingredients of the bacterial materials effectively and safely.
