Bacteria

Bacteria (bacterium) are ubiquitous, mostly free-living organisms often consisting of one biological cell. Synbiotics and Bacteria are Bacteriology.

See Synbiotics and Bacteria

Bifidobacterium

Bifidobacterium is a genus of gram-positive, nonmotile, often branched anaerobic bacteria.

See Synbiotics and Bifidobacterium

Clinical research

Clinical research is a branch of medical research that involves people and aims to determine the effectiveness (efficacy) and safety of medications, devices, diagnostic products, and treatment regimens intended for improving human health.

See Synbiotics and Clinical research

Dietary supplement

A dietary supplement is a manufactured product intended to supplement a person's diet by taking a pill, capsule, tablet, powder, or liquid.

See Synbiotics and Dietary supplement

Fiber

Fiber or fibre (British English; from fibra) is a natural or artificial substance that is significantly longer than it is wide.

See Synbiotics and Fiber

Food and Agriculture Organization

Fructooligosaccharides (FOS) also sometimes called oligofructose or oligofructan, are oligosaccharide fructans, used as an alternative sweetener. Synbiotics and Fructooligosaccharide are prebiotics (nutrition).

See Synbiotics and Fructooligosaccharide

Galactooligosaccharides (GOS), also known as oligogalactosyllactose, oligogalactose, oligolactose or transgalactooligosaccharides (TOS), belong to the group of prebiotics. Synbiotics and Galactooligosaccharide are prebiotics (nutrition).

See Synbiotics and Galactooligosaccharide

Gastrointestinal tract

The gastrointestinal tract (GI tract, digestive tract, alimentary canal) is the tract or passageway of the digestive system that leads from the mouth to the anus. The GI tract contains all the major organs of the digestive system, in humans and other animals, including the esophagus, stomach, and intestines. Synbiotics and gastrointestinal tract are digestive system.

See Synbiotics and Gastrointestinal tract

Ingredient

In a general sense, an ingredient is a substance which forms part of a mixture.

See Synbiotics and Ingredient

Inulin

Inulins are a group of naturally occurring polysaccharides produced by many types of plants, industrially most often extracted from chicory. Synbiotics and Inulin are prebiotics (nutrition).

See Synbiotics and Inulin

Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus

Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus (previously Lactobacillus rhamnosus) is a bacterium that originally was considered to be a subspecies of L. casei, but genetic research found it to be a separate species in the L. casei clade, which also includes L. paracasei and L. zeae. Synbiotics and Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus are digestive system and Probiotics.

See Synbiotics and Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus

Necrotizing enterocolitis

Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a devastating intestinal disease that affects premature or very low birth weight infants.

See Synbiotics and Necrotizing enterocolitis

Polyphenol

Polyphenols are a large family of naturally occurring phenols.

See Synbiotics and Polyphenol

Prebiotic (nutrition)

Prebiotics are compounds in food that foster growth or activity of beneficial microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi. Synbiotics and Prebiotic (nutrition) are Bacteriology, digestive system and prebiotics (nutrition).

See Synbiotics and Prebiotic (nutrition)

Probiotic

Probiotics are live microorganisms promoted with claims that they provide health benefits when consumed, generally by improving or restoring the gut microbiota. Synbiotics and Probiotic are Bacteriology, digestive system and Probiotics.

See Synbiotics and Probiotic

Synergy

Synergy is an interaction or cooperation giving rise to a whole that is greater than the simple sum of its parts (i.e., a non-linear addition of force, energy, or effect).
