Synbiotics Metabolic Health Randomized TrialThis narrative review summarizes current evidence on dietary and supplementation-based strategies for modulating the gut microbiota, with particular attention to dietary fiber, fermented foods, prebiotics, probiotics, synbiotics, and postbiotics.4Ekstedt-Biskot N (2026)Dietary and Supplementation Strategies for Modulating Gut Microbiota: A Narrative Review.
Synbiotics Metabolic Health Randomized TrialOverall, current evidence suggests that microbiota-targeted nutritional strategies may support gut homeostasis and selected health-related outcomes; however, their effects are not universal and require more personalized and better-controlled approaches in future research.4Ekstedt-Biskot N (2026)Dietary and Supplementation Strategies for Modulating Gut Microbiota: A Narrative Review.
Synbiotics Metabolic Health Randomized TrialThe composition and balance of the gut microbiota are important for human health, as they are involved in metabolic processes, immune regulation, intestinal barrier function, and gut-brain communication.4Ekstedt-Biskot N (2026)Dietary and Supplementation Strategies for Modulating Gut Microbiota: A Narrative Review.
Synbiotics Metabolic Health Randomized TrialIndia's escalating burden of obesity and metabolic disease is characterized by a distinctive "thin-fat" phenotype, in which individuals with normal or near-normal body mass index exhibit disproportionate visceral adiposity, reduced skeletal muscle mass, and heightened susceptibility to insulin resistance.4Ganguly NK (2026)Reconsidering Obesity in India Through a Gut-Metabolic Lens: Mechanistic Insights and the Emerging Role of Synbiotics in Individuals with the Thin-Fat Phenotype.
Synbiotics Metabolic Health Randomized TrialEmerging evidence implicates gut microbiome dysbiosis, impaired fermentation of dietary fibers, reduced short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) signaling, altered bile acid metabolism, metabolic endotoxemia, and dysregulated adipose tissue crosstalk as key contributors to metabolic vulnerability in South Asian populations.4Ganguly NK (2026)Reconsidering Obesity in India Through a Gut-Metabolic Lens: Mechanistic Insights and the Emerging Role of Synbiotics in Individuals with the Thin-Fat Phenotype.
Synbiotics Metabolic Health Randomized TrialEmerging clinical evidence from randomized controlled trials evaluating synbiotic and prebiotic-botanical formulations is also discussed, highlighting their potential benefits as adjuncts to lifestyle modification.4Ganguly NK (2026)Reconsidering Obesity in India Through a Gut-Metabolic Lens: Mechanistic Insights and the Emerging Role of Synbiotics in Individuals with the Thin-Fat Phenotype.
Synbiotics Metabolic Health Randomized TrialConventional obesity models centered primarily on caloric imbalance fail to adequately explain this pattern, underscoring the need for a more integrative pathophysiological framework.4Ganguly NK (2026)Reconsidering Obesity in India Through a Gut-Metabolic Lens: Mechanistic Insights and the Emerging Role of Synbiotics in Individuals with the Thin-Fat Phenotype.
