“…Animal model studies suggested that the efficacy of probiotics may be increased by the combination of probiotics and synergistically acting prebiotic components [ 82 ] like FOS [ 83 ], phytins [ 84 ], maltodextrin KMS X-70 [ 85 ] working together with zinc [ 86 ]. Likewise, rat model studies have shown that the combination of probiotics and zinc can improve zinc bioavailability [ 87 ]. This may be due to a synergistic effect between the probiotic and zinc to improve histomorphology (villus height and total goblet cell count) of the intestine [ 88 ] and its integrity [ 89 ].…”

Probiotic Supplementation and Micronutrient Status in Healthy Subjects: A Systematic Review of Clinical Trials

Micronutrient deficiencies are a worldwide public health concern. Emerging evidence supports the ability of probiotics to enhance micronutrient status, which could aid in the prevention of non-communicable disease-associated malnutrition. This systematic review evaluated evidence of the efficacy of probiotic supplementation to improve micronutrient status in healthy subjects. The authors searched for published English language peer-reviewed journal articles in PubMed, Scopus, Embase, and Google Scholar databases from inception to July 2020 using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. The quality of eligible studies was assessed using the Revised Cochrane Risk-of-Bias tool (RoB)2 and Risk of Bias in Non-Randomized Studies of Interventions tool (ROBINS-I tool). Fourteen original studies out of 2790 met the inclusion criteria. The results indicated that, despite varying degrees of efficacy, the intake of certain probiotics in healthy subjects was associated with a positive impact on the status of certain micronutrients (vitamin B12, calcium, folate, iron and zinc). A limitation was that studies were widely heterogeneous in terms of participant age, probiotic strain, species, dosage, intervention duration, and form of administration. Additional clinical trials are warranted to determine the most effective strains of probiotics, doses and durations of interventions.

“…These processes influence the physiological development of the gastrointestinal tract of the chick in the first 21 d after hatching, including the length of the intestines and gut pH ( Shehata et al, 2021 ). Previous research using rats ( Tesán et al, 2011 ) indicates that the bioavailability of zinc increases when used in combination with probiotics, and it acts synergistically with the probiotic to increase villus height and the total number of goblet cells ( Shah et al, 2019 ). Therefore, combined administration of zinc and probiotics increases the absorption of zinc, which improves production parameters by stimulating metabolism of proteins, sugars and fats ( Liu et al, 2015 ).…”
