Until more comprehensive research is conducted
on synbiotics, consider sticking to swallowing a probiotic supplement or eat probiotic - rich foods in addition to prebiotic foods.
Some small studies have suggested that
synbiotics could provide benefits to a range of other conditions influenced by the gut microbiome as well, including obesity, diabetes, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, but larger - scale clinical trials focusing
on each of those conditions are needed.
