Recent advances in prebiotic-based delivery systems for probiotics: encapsulation, protection, and gut microbiota modulation

Key Points

• Probiotics enhance gut health through effective modulation of gut microbiota, suggesting significant health benefits.
• Key evidence indicates that improved delivery systems enhance probiotic survival in the gut, promoting overall efficacy.
• Analysis of recent advances in encapsulation methods demonstrates robust protection of probiotics against environmental stressors.
• These findings indicate a need for further exploration of microbial strategies to optimize health outcomes with prebiotic combinations.
