3 benefits for the intestines – prebiotic, probiotic, postbiotic Review article
Main Article Content
Abstract
Intestinal diseases, both functional and inflammatory, are becoming a global health problem. Their etiology is multifactorial, diagnostics can be difficult and complex and is aimed not only at confirming the diagnosis, but also at excluding, above all, organic changes. The spectrum of ailments, especially in functional disorders, is wide and unstable, which is why we use symptomatic treatment, focused on the patient’s current ailments. One of the important causes is the disruption of the brain-gut axis, which translates into the functioning of the intestinal microbiota. Appropriate care for the microbiome, the use of prebiotics and postbiotics to maintain its balance, and supplementation with a properly tested probiotic are key elements of maintaining intestinal homeostasis.
