Postbiotics

Also known as: inactivated bacteria, fermentation products, paraprobiotics

Postbiotics are preparations of non-living (heat-inactivated) microorganisms or their components and metabolites. Unlike probiotics they do not need to survive in the gut, are more stable and need no refrigeration.

What it is used for

  • immune support and fewer infections in children – weak evidence, results vary by strain
  • digestive comfort and gut barrier – weak evidence
  • support after antibiotics – weak evidence

Forms and how they differ

heat-inactivated strains

effect is strain-specific, look for the strain designation

fermented lysates

a mix of bacterial components

children's gummies

often sugary with a low dose – quality depends on the label

When to take it

Any time of day, with or without food.

Pairs well with

A diet rich in fibre and fermented foods.

Do not combine / separate

With gummies, watch for doubling vitamins with other children's supplements.

Watch out for

With weakened immunity, in premature infants and in serious illness consult your doctor. During pregnancy or breastfeeding, with kidney or liver disease, or when taking medicines, consult your doctor.

Safety

Considered very safe. Do not exceed the label dose.

Practical tip

Look for the exact strain name – "postbiotic" alone tells you nothing about the effect.
