Probiotics' Role in Human Disease | Chapter 07 | Emerging Trends in Disease and Health Research Vol. 2

 It is clear that probiotics play a role in preventing or treating a variety of health problems, ranging from nutritional deficiencies to medical conditions throughout the body such as gastrointestinal diseases, diabetes, high cholesterol, obesity, and certain types of cancer. Additionally, some probiotics have benefits for healthy people, such as lowering the risk of common infectious diseases. Many probiotics have showed promise in the treatment of certain clinical disorders when abnormal microbiota have been identified. However, regulations for the use of probiotics must be established, and more study must be conducted to determine the strains and proper amount for each treatment, as well as to discover the long-term benefits and influence of probiotics when used in conjunction with drug-based treatment. The goal of this revision is to recognise the importance of probiotics in the prevention and treatment of various health disorders by compiling and comparing various research works on the topic published in recent years.
