Mechanism of action

Probiotics are live beneficial microorganisms that colonize the gastrointestinal tract, competing with pathogenic bacteria, producing short-chain fatty acids, and strengthening tight junctions in the intestinal epithelium. They also stimulate local and systemic immune responses through interaction with gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT), promoting regulatory T cell differentiation and reducing systemic inflammation.
