The gut microbiota is the most adapted & personalized ecosystem which comprises of ten trillion bacteria in an individual.
The homeostasis of the immune system of an individual is maintained through a mechanism called ‘Cross talk’ between the gut microbiota and mucosal immune system.

Till about 2-3 years of age many changers occur in the gut microbiota and ultimately establishes a highly personalized, adapted microbial population in the gut.

Types of food that the baby gets, mode of delivery and environment factors influence the establishment of healthier gut microbiota. However, imbalanced gut microbiota (Dysbiosis) could lead to obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular diseases in later life. That reinforce the importance of healthier gut microbiota to prevent non communicable diseases (NCD). It is important to provide a suitable healthy diet to enhance friendly gut microbiota (probiotics) to prevent NCDs later in life.

Bacterial genera like Bifidobacteria and Lactobacillus are the most commonly used 2 types of probiotics to confer health benefits to the host.

Probiotics will act in intestinal luminal microbes and establishes a healthier ecosystem . It acts on gut epithelium and strengthens gut mucosal immune barrier and exerts a positive impact on body organs.

It is clearly proven that provision of probiotics can prevent dysbiosis and offer a health to the host by preventing NCDs
