Prebiotic Effect
The prebiotic effect refers to the beneficial physiological changes induced by prebiotics, which are non-digestible food ingredients that selectively stimulate the growth and/or activity of beneficial bacteria in the host's gastrointestinal tract. These effects often include improved gut microbiota composition, enhanced nutrient absorption, modulation of immune responses, and potential reduction in pathogenic bacteria. Prebiotics contribute to overall gut health and may influence systemic well-being.
