Healthy Benefits of Synbiotics and Their Food Sources

According to a 2022 report in the Journal of Dietary Intervention in Gastrointestinal Disease , synbiotics are defined as a mixture of probiotics and prebiotics . This mixture of probiotics and prebiotics has the goal of providing more benefits to the body than consuming them separately. Synbiotics are found in food and also in supplement form. By consuming food or supplements that contain synbiotics, the body will benefit from both probiotics (good bacteria in digestion) and prebiotics (food for these bacteria).
