Nearly 25% of people worldwide are impacted by iron deficiency, resulting in anemia and the inability to maintain sufficient tissue oxygenation, among other negative consequences. Studies have demonstrated that the gut microbiota significantly impacts iron absorption and metabolism, and vice versa. Further, probiotics, prebiotics, and postbiotics have been explored for their potential role in the […]

Potential of Prebiotics in Iron Deficiency
Iron deficiency affects nearly one in four people worldwide, leading to anemia and the failure to maintain adequate tissue oxygenation, as well as other adverse effects. Research has shown that the gut microbiota plays a significant role in iron absorption and metabolism, and probiotics, prebiotics, and postbiotics have been studied as potential therapies for iron […]
Potential of Probiotics in Iron Deficiency
More than two billion people across the globe — primarily pregnant women and young children in developing countries—are deficient in iron, an essential trace mineral. Deficiency can lead to anemia, resulting in the failure to sustain suitable tissue oxygenation and body homeostasis. According to research, the gut microbiota (GM) influences both the absorption and metabolism […]
