“…Benefits of regular consumption of probiotics and prebiotics include enhanced immune function, improved colonic integrity, decreased incidence and duration of intestinal infections, downregulated allergic responses, and improved digestion (Muzaffar et al, 2021). It is assumed that the individual properties of pre-and probiotics may complement each other or act synergistically (Markowiak and Śliżewska, 2018;Muzaffar et al, 2021;Reehana et al, 2021).Studies have suggested that prebiotics may increase the survival of probiotic bacteria that pass through the upper GI tract and thus enhance their activity in the large intestine (Fooks et al, 1999;Roberfroid, 2000;Yan and Polk, 2020;Da Silva et al, 2021). It is also understood that the individual properties of pre-and probiotics may be complementary or they may act synergistically (Bielecka et al, 2002;Muzaffar et al, 2021;Reehana et al, 2021).…”

Complementary synbiotics are comprised of a probiotic and a prebiotic that work independently to achieve one or more health benefits.…”

“…While the benefits of probiotics and prebiotics are known, scientists are cautious about drawing firm conclusions. Observed benefits depend on the type and amount as well as the ratio between pro-and prebiotics, which are difficult to predict (Reehana et al, 2021).…”

Since January 2006 when using antibiotics as growth promoters in animal feed have been banned scientists are looking for the best resolution to apply alternative substances. Extensive research into the health-promoting properties of probiotics and prebiotics has led to significant interest in the mechanisms of action of the combined administration of these feed additives as a synbiotic. Subsequent research has led to the development of new products. Among the most important health benefits of additives are, inhibiting the growth of pathogenic bacteria in the GI tract, maintenance of homeostasis, treatment of inflammatory bowel diseases, and increase in immunity. Specific immunomodulatory mechanisms of action are not well understood and the effect is not always positive, though there are no reports of adverse effects of these substances found in the literature. For this reason, research is still being conducted on their proper application. However, due to the difficulties of carrying out research on humans, evidence of the beneficial effect of these additives comes mainly from experiments on animals. The objective of the present work was to assess the effect of probiotics, prebiotics, and synbiotics, as well as new additives including postbiotics, proteobiotics, nutribiotics, and pharmabiotics, on specific immunomodulatory mechanisms of action, increase in immunity, the reduction of a broad spectrum of diseases.
