Abstract
Numerous studies have been advanced to establish a link between gut health and immunological function and to explain how probiotics, prebiotics, nutraceuticals affect the gut microbiota and immune function. A probiotic must possess favourable technical features, be able to live in the upper gastrointestinal system, and operate in the gut environment in order to enhance human health.
