Postbiotics are non-viable bacterial products subdued from probiotic microorganisms. They have biological activity in the host. We are well exposed to prebiotics and probiotics. Prebiotics are fibers that a human body cannot digest. Prebiotics serves as food for probiotics. Probiotics are small living organisms. They are basically bacteria and yeast. Post-biotics are formed from the leftovers of prebiotics and probiotics.
What are Postbiotics?
The byproducts after the fermentation process by the probiotics in the intestine are called postbiotics. It is a discovery and term in the field of microbiology. Postbiotics are produced while the prebiotics feeds on probiotics.so in a nutshell, postbiotics are a waste of probiotics.
When it is termed as waste it may sound unimportant and that it does not have much use. But the postbiotics help in boosting up health functions in our gut. They are as important as prebiotic and probiotics enzymes. Organic acids, bacteriocins, carbonic substances, and enzymes are a few examples of postbiotics. Consuming a high fiber diet causes the development of these postbiotic cells.
Benefits of Postbiotics:
Though postbiotics have acquired the term ‘waste’ of prebiotic and probiotic cells, it has its own beneficial values.
