Postbiotics: The Technological Code Unlocking a New Era of Health
Postbiotics boast core advantages with carefully selected components that deliver exceptional immune - boosting effects, even outperforming live probiotics.
Notably, they retain high physiological activity when exposed to extreme heat or digestive enzymes. This resilience is attributed to key components like lipopolysaccharide (LPS), which are vital for their tolerance to acids, alkalis, and heat.
For human health, postbiotics offer multidimensional benefits. They regulate gut microbiota balance by creating an optimal environment for beneficial bacteria to grow and reproduce while suppressing harmful bacterial invasion.
For example, postbiotics from Lactobacillus plantarum effectively inhibit the proliferation of pathogens such as Escherichia coli and Salmonella. In terms of immune enhancement, screened postbiotics like Lactobacillus plantarum surpass raw live bacteria.
Their components can activate immune cells and stimulate the production of immune factors, strengthening the body's defense mechanisms.
They also promote nutrient absorption by improving gut microbiota and enhancing the intestinal epithelial barrier; a study on weaned piglets showed postbiotics increased ileal villus height by 13%, boosting absorption efficiency.
Additionally, they alleviate gastrointestinal disorders. A clinical trial on Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) patients found those receiving heat - treated Lactobacillus acidophilus (a postbiotic type) had significant improvements in bloating, abdominal pain, and stool consistency compared to the placebo group.
In daily life, postbiotics have wide applications.
In functional staple foods and beverages, Chiti's ambient yogurt contains heat - inactivated Lactobacillus plantarum metabolites (core postbiotic components), extending shelf life to over six months and inhibiting E. coli growth via short - chain fatty acids (SCFAs).
Its bio - preservative postbiotics replace chemical preservatives like sodium benzoate in baked goods, enabling a renowned bread brand to have "preservative - free" labels and enhancing dietary fiber absorption.
In special dietary food, Chiti added postbiotics with pasteurized Acman bacteria to low - sugar meal replacement powder for diabetics, which improves insulin resistance and has EU functional food certification.
In health products, Chiti's Helicobacter pylori suppression tablets (with inactivated Lactobacillus metabolites) achieve a 72% eradication rate for mild infections, and its heat - inactivated Bifidobacterium formulation for IBS improves symptom relief by 40% (US FDA GRAS certified).
Its postbiome lyophilized powder, with bacterial lysate OM - 85, improves sleep and strengthens the respiratory mucosal barrier.
In the daily chemical field, Chiti's Soothing Repair Mask (with anti - allergenic postbiotics) reduces sensitive skin redness by 68% and retains over 90% activity after high - temperature storage; its premium essence with SCFAs derivatives extends moisturization to 12 hours.
Prebiotic toothpaste inhibits cavity - causing bacteria, reducing childhood dental caries by 35% without fluoride risk, and Chiti Oral Foam Microbubbles inhibit oral odor - causing bacteria for 24 hours.
In the pet field, Chiti Cat Food uses pet - specific postbiotics to reduce senior cat intestinal inflammation; its probiotic granules (with "live bacteria + postbiotics") boost nutrient absorption by 18% and captured 12% of the premium pet health supplement market within six months.
Globally, postbiotics research is in full swing. Scientists are exploring new functions and applications. In the future, they are expected to be a key part of novel treatments for chronic diseases like inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and autoimmune disorders.
In the food industry, they will drive the innovation of health - focused products to meet consumer demands for nutrition, wellness, and taste. As a high - tech innovation, postbiotics bring positive changes to life and will shine more in the future health industry, offering more healthy living possibilities.
