The concept of postbiotics has gained significant traction in recent years, particularly following the publication of the postbiotics consensus by the International Scientific Association for Probiotics and Prebiotics (ISAPP). Postbiotics are defined as preparations of lifeless microorganisms and/or their components that confer health benefits to the host. The health effects associated with the administration of postbiotics include the regulation of the immune system, promotion of gut health, prevention of obesity, control of lipid metabolism and relief or prevention of symptoms related to chronic diseases.
