Role Of Prebiotics In Promoting Healthy Bacteria And Discouraging Harmful Bacteria

Gut microflora has a critical role in providing immunity, improved digestion, and resistance to pathogenic infections.1 The gut microflora differs in composition and diversity among breast-fed and formula-fed infants.2 A major innovation is the modulation of the microflora through diet; a community of beneficial microbes can be obtained by adding prebiotics in infant feed.

  1. ROLE OF PREBIOTICS IN PROMOTING HEALTHY BACTERIA And Discouraging Harmful Bacteria PROBIOTICS A prebiotic effect is defined as ‘a selectively fermented ingredient that allows specific changes, both in composition and/or activity in the gastrointestinal microflora that confers benefit upon host wellbeing and health’ PREBIOTICS ON IMMUNITY Immature immunity makes an infant vulnerable to infections.1 Prebiotic supplementation enhances the development of the infant immune system.2,3 This infographic answers how prebiotic supplementation enhances the infant's immunity. PREBIOTIC GOS/FOS Yes. GOS:FOS in the ratio of 9:1 has received GRAS status from USFDA and organizations such as EFSA and WAO have also approved it as an ingredient that can be added to infant formulations. PREBIOTIC SOURCE GOS – Galacto-oligosaccharides are obtained by enzymatic digestion of lactose, FOS – Fructo-oligosaccharides are fractions isolated from Chicory. Prebiotic supplementation enhances the development of the infant immune system.2,3 This infographic answers how prebiotic supplementation enhances the infant's immunity. COLON MICROFLORA The colon microflora is a metabolically active and complex ecosystem with a major role in protection against exogenous and pportunistic bacteria, immunity, and overall well-being of the host.1 The colon provides nutrients and favorable pH and has a slow transit time aiding in the growth of bacteria. .
