Postbiotic Delivery

Meaning

Postbiotic Delivery is the targeted introduction of the functional, non-viable end-products or metabolic byproducts generated by beneficial microorganisms into the body, rather than introducing the live bacteria themselves. These postbiotics, which include short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), cell wall components, and extracellular polysaccharides, are the primary mediators of the gut microbiome’s systemic health benefits. This strategy bypasses the need for live bacterial colonization, offering a direct, stable, and highly controlled method to influence host physiology, immune function, and hormonal signaling. It is an emerging, precise therapeutic avenue in gut health.
