Global Prebiotics Market - Key Trends & Drivers Summarized
Prebiotics are non-digestible food components that beneficially affect the host by selectively stimulating the growth and/or activity of beneficial bacteria in the gut. These compounds, typically found in dietary fibers, pass through the upper part of the gastrointestinal tract undigested and serve as food for probiotics, the beneficial bacteria in the colon. Common prebiotics include inulin, fructooligosaccharides (FOS), and galactooligosaccharides (GOS), which are found in foods like chicory root, garlic, onions, bananas, and whole grains. By promoting the growth of healthy gut flora, prebiotics contribute to improved digestion, enhanced immune function, and better absorption of minerals like calcium and magnesium.The growth in the prebiotics market is driven by several factors.
