Prebiotic Interventions

Meaning

Prebiotic Interventions involve the dietary or supplemental administration of specific non-digestible food components, typically certain types of fiber, that selectively stimulate the growth and activity of beneficial bacteria in the colon. These interventions are a targeted strategy to modulate the gut microbiome composition and function, thereby promoting gastrointestinal health and influencing systemic metabolism. In the context of hormonal wellness, prebiotics are significant because the gut microbiota plays a crucial role in the metabolism and recycling of steroid hormones, impacting their bioavailability. A healthy gut environment supported by prebiotics is foundational to overall endocrine balance.
