Gut health supplements, including prebiotics, probiotics, and synbiotics, are increasingly popular for their potential benefits on gut microbiota and overall health. However, their safety and efficacy remain subjects of ongoing research. This synthesis aims to evaluate the safety of gut health supplements based on recent studies.
Safety and Tolerability of Specific Supplements:
Potential Risks and Adverse Effects:
Impact on Gut Microbiota:
Overall, gut health supplements, including HMOs, Ambrotose, multi-strain probiotics, and Bacillus coagulans, are generally safe and well-tolerated in healthy individuals. However, caution is advised with certain dietary additives and supplements, particularly those containing purified components, due to potential adverse effects on liver and gut health. While these supplements can positively impact gut microbiota, their benefits on immunity and overall health may vary. Further research is needed to fully understand their long-term safety and efficacy.
