ABSTRACT:
Background Probiotics, which are live microorganisms beneficial to human health, have garnered significant attention in recent years due to their potential therapeutic and preventive effects on various health conditions. The human gut microbiota, comprising trillions of microorganisms, plays a crucial role in digestion, metabolism, immune function, and overall health. Disruptions in the gut microbiota have been associated with various diseases, including gastrointestinal disorders, metabolic syndrome, immune-related conditions, and even mental health disorders. Objective The objective of conducting an evidence-based review on the potential of probiotics is to assess their efficacy, safety, and mechanisms of action in various health conditions. Methods A literature search was conducted in PubMed, Scopus, along EBSCO databases. The topics include " Probiotics", " History", " Composition", " Clinical significance, Prevention ", or " Recent advancements,". Results This involves gathering and analyzing scientific research, clinical trials, and meta-analyses to evaluate the effects of probiotics on specific health outcomes. The review aims to provide an unbiased synthesis of available evidence to inform healthcare professionals, researchers, and policymakers about the role of probiotics in disease prevention, treatment, and maintenance of overall health. Key objectives may include: Conclusion In conclusion, an evidence-based review on probiotics aims to assess their efficacy, safety, and mechanisms of action across various health conditions. By synthesizing scientific research and clinical trials, such reviews provide valuable insights into the role of probiotics in disease management, overall health promotion, and potential adverse effects. Through rigorous analysis, these reviews inform healthcare professionals, researchers, and policymakers about the appropriate use of probiotics to optimize health outcomes.
