 Attend the 16th World Probiotics, Nutrition & Gut Health Conference and Exhibition

December 17–19, 2026 | Dubai, UAE

Introduction

Prebiotics, Postbiotics, and Synbiotics

At the 16th World Probiotics, Nutrition, Gut Health Conference and Exhibition

The human gut microbiome has emerged as one of the most influential systems in modern health science. Once viewed simply as digestive support, it is now recognized as a central regulator of immunity, metabolism, inflammation, and even mental well-being. As microbiome research advances, scientific focus is expanding beyond traditional probiotics toward more refined and targeted strategies — namely prebiotics, postbiotics, and synbiotics.

Track 11: Prebiotics, Postbiotics, and Synbiotics: at the 16th World Probiotics, Nutrition, Gut Health Conference and Exhibition, this evolving field takes center stage. Track discussions will explore how these next-generation biotics enhance microbial balance, strengthen gut barrier function, and offer innovative solutions for chronic and lifestyle-related diseases.

Understanding these powerful compounds is essential for clinicians, researchers, and industry leaders seeking to translate microbiome science into effective therapeutic and nutritional interventions. This introduction sets the stage for deeper exploration into their mechanisms, applications, and future potential in advancing global gut health.

What Are Prebiotics, Postbiotics, and Synbiotics?

1️ Prebiotics

Prebiotics are non-digestible food components (mostly fibers) that selectively stimulate the growth and activity of beneficial gut bacteria.

They act as “food” for good microbes, helping maintain microbial balance in the intestine.

2️ Postbiotics

Postbiotics are bioactive compounds produced by beneficial bacteria during fermentation. These include short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), peptides, enzymes, and cell wall fragments.

Unlike probiotics, postbiotics do not contain live bacteria — but they still provide health benefits.

3️Synbiotics

Synbiotics are combinations of probiotics and prebiotics designed to work together synergistically. The prebiotic component supports the survival and activity of the probiotic strain.

Description

In modern gut health science, the focus is shifting from just adding beneficial bacteria (probiotics) to supporting, optimizing, and utilizing microbial metabolites.

At the conference, discussions explore:

  • Mechanisms of microbial fermentation
  • Host–microbiome interactions
  • Clinical evidence in digestive and systemic diseases
  • Product innovation and regulatory developments

These “biotics” represent a new generation of microbiome-based nutritional strategies.

Types

Prebiotics

  • Inulin
  • Fructooligosaccharides (FOS)
  • Galactooligosaccharides (GOS)
  • Resistant starch

Postbiotics

  • Short-chain fatty acids (butyrate, acetate, propionate)
  • Bacterial lysates
  • Peptidoglycans
  • Exopolysaccharides

Synbiotics

  • Complementary synbiotics (probiotic + supportive prebiotic)
  • Synergistic synbiotics (specifically designed paired combinations)

Effects on Health

Digestive Health

  • Improved gut barrier function
  • Reduced bloating and inflammation
  • Enhanced nutrient absorption

Immune Support

  • Modulation of immune responses
  • Reduced risk of infections
  • Anti-inflammatory effects

Metabolic & Systemic Benefits

  • Blood sugar regulation
  • Lipid profile improvement
  • Weight management support

Mental Health (Gut–Brain Axis)

  • Reduced stress and anxiety markers
  • Improved mood regulation

Professionals Who Benefit

This topic is highly relevant for:

  • Gastroenterologists
  • Nutritionists and Dietitians
  • Microbiologists
  • Clinical Researchers
  • Functional Medicine Practitioners
  • Food Technologists
  • Pharmaceutical & Nutraceutical Industry Experts

The conference provides a collaborative platform where science meets clinical practice and commercial innovation.

Problem Solving in Modern Healthcare

Prebiotics, postbiotics, and synbiotics help address:

  • Dysbiosis (microbial imbalance)
  • Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
  • Inflammatory bowel conditions
  • Metabolic syndrome
  • Antibiotic-associated diarrhea
  • Immune dysfunction

By targeting the microbiome ecosystem rather than symptoms alone, these strategies offer preventive and long-term health solutions.

Conclusion

Track 11: Prebiotics, Postbiotics, and Synbiotics: at the 16th World Probiotics, Nutrition, Gut Health Conference and Exhibition, Prebiotics, Postbiotics, and Synbiotics represent the next frontier of precision nutrition and microbiome science.

As research continues to evolve, these innovative biotic approaches are reshaping how we understand gut health moving from simple supplementation toward targeted, evidence-based microbial modulation.

This track is not just about gut health it’s about the future of personalized medicine and preventive healthcare.
