Deep dive into the world of biotics and the microbiome. This webinar looks to explore the science behind postbiotics, along with the potential role postbiotics can play as a vehicle to meet consumer needs in not only digestive health, but beyond this to other areas of consumer interest, such as immune and cognitive health.
The surge in interest around postbiotics is not just a trend—it’s a response to the incredible body of research and patent filings that have emerged in recent years. With more and more people seeking to age gracefully while staying fit and alert, the connection between different health systems has become more important than ever. Postbiotics, with their unique role in modulating the microbiome, offer a promising avenue to explore these intricate links.
Join key experts in this ever-emerging field as they take you on a journey through the postbiotic continuum, explaining what sets postbiotics apart from other biotics and how they can be harnessed to improve not only gut health but also other critical systems in the body. You’ll hear about the latest studies and findings that are driving this excitement, gaining insights into how postbiotics might benefit you.
