Microbiota modulation refers to the process of altering or influencing the composition and activity of the gut microbiota, the community of microorganisms living in the digestive tract. This can be achieved through dietary changes, probiotics, prebiotics, or other interventions aimed at promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria and reducing harmful microbes.
Benefits of microbiota modulation include improved digestion, enhanced immune function, and better gut health. It may also play a role in managing conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), obesity, and inflammation.
