Innovations in supplements: postbiotics and synbiotics – the next step after probiotics

Probiotics – the beginning of the microbiome revolution

Probiotics, or live bacterial cultures, have firmly established themselves in consumer awareness. They support immunity, digestion, and overall body balance. But this is just the beginning. The latest research shows that even greater potential lies in postbiotics and synbiotics.


Postbiotics – a new generation of gut support

Postbiotics are bioactive bacterial metabolites, compounds formed as a result of probiotic activity. They are largely responsible for real health benefits.

Benefits of postbiotic supplementation:

  • support immunity and reduce inflammation,
  • have a more stable form (no need to maintain bacterial viability),
  • safe even for people with weakened immunity,
  • may act faster and more effectively than classic probiotics.

Synbiotics – synergy of probiotics and prebiotics

Synbiotics are a combination of probiotics (live bacteria) and prebiotics (substrates for their growth). This gives bacteria better conditions for colonizing the intestines, and the effects of supplementation are longer-lasting.

Benefits of synbiotic supplementation:

  • longer-lasting effects,
  • stronger microbiome support,
  • improved digestion and nutrient absorption,
  • potential in regulating mood and the gut–brain axis.

Why is this the future of supplements?

With growing consumer awareness, people are increasingly looking for solutions more advanced than probiotics. Postbiotics and synbiotics are the answer – stable, effective, and aligned with the health personalization trend.
