Influence of prebiotic fibers on strengthening human immunity.
| Prebiotics | Influence on strengthening the immune system |
|---|---|
| Cellulose | Promotes the growth of bacteria of the genus Prevotella, producing short‐ chain fatty acids. |
| Inulin | Promotes the growth and development of Bacillus coagulans, Bacillus subtilis, Faecalibacterium prausnitzii, Bacteroides fragilis, bifidobacteria, lactobacilli and bacteria that produce butyrate, acetate,propionate. Increases the barrier function of the intestinal mucosa. |
| Pectin | Promotes the growth and development of Bifidobacterium odolescentis, Ruminococcus bromii, Eubacterium rectale. |
| Resistant starch | Promotes the growth of bacteria of the genus Firmicutes and bifidobacteria. Reduces the content of potentially carcinogenic secondary bile acids. Helps reduce abdominal fat. |
| Kefiran | Possesses powerful antitumor, immunomodulatory activity, inhibits the synthesis of allergens (histamine), lowers the level of bad cholesterol in the blood. |
| Beta glucans | Promote the growth and development of bifidobacteria, lactobacilli, bacteroids. Reduces the risk of developing respiratory diseases. |
| Arabinogalactan | Stimulates the growth and development of Coprococcus, Lachnoclostridium, Bifidobacterium |
| Arabinoxylan |
