It Seems that the major role is on pre-biotics and its supplement. But as far as the gut health is concerned there is major role of Pro-biotics also. So, i would like to know the expert opinions about that.

Prebiotics:Definition: Prebiotics are non-digestible fibers or compounds found in certain foods that promote the activity and growth of beneficial bacteria (probiotics) in the gut. Role: They act as a food source for probiotics, helping them thrive and maintain a healthy balance of microorganisms in the gut. Examples: Common prebiotics include inulin, fructooligosaccharides (FOS), and certain types of dietary fibers found in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Probiotics:Definition: Probiotics are live beneficial bacteria that, when consumed in adequate amounts, confer health benefits to the host, especially by promoting a balanced gut microbiota. Role: Probiotics contribute to the maintenance of a healthy gut microbiome by suppressing the growth of harmful bacteria, enhancing nutrient absorption, and supporting the immune system.
Both prebiotics and probiotics play important roles in nutrition, but they serve different functions within the digestive system.
