Postbiotics an emerging path towards precision health

Do you know our ancestors never used to suffer from chronic illnesses like we do?

Chronic diseases such as Type 2 diabetes, Obesity, Cardiovascular Diseases, Cancer, anxiety, Depression, Skin issues, Acne, Alzhimers & many others were non-existent.

So what has changed over the last 500 years?

Its gut microbiome diversity & composition! Our Ancestors had much more microbes than we do

Moving to cities which do not have dirt to play in, food corporatisation, overuse of antibiotics & drugs, fat diets & genetic nutrition recommendations based on guess work, stress & external environment has led to gut dysbiosis & compromised gut diversity

This gut dysbiosis has

1)Weakened immune system
2)Increased domination of toxins & inflammatory molecules inside our body.
3)Nutrient deficiency

& we have now resorted to personalised supplements to boost our immunity & meet nutrient gaps

But are these supplements really personalised!

I am afraid these nutrients are more categorised than personalised

We have

1)Nootropic category( brain supplements)
2)Immune boosting category
3)Weight loss category
4)Performance category
5)Insulin category

& many others

These supplements are of standard quantity & are mass products

We end up consuming more than 500 supplements which overload our liver & kidney & creates inflammation.

Besides, these supplements do not offer some compounds which our gut microbiome produces

So what is the way our- Postbiotics!

Postbiotics are nothing but byproducts or metabolites produced by our gut when they metabolise the food we eat. Some of examples of Postbiotics include Butyrate, Inulin Equol, Urolithin A, Lactic acid & many more

Scientists have found that these metabolites can be externally administered through postbiotic supplements in the absence of certain microbes( caused by gut dysbiosis) that are responsible for producing these compounds

These postbiotics have numerous health benefits

-Helps in weight loss
-Overcome digestive issues
-Clear our pathogens
-Overcome oxidative stress.
