Abstract
Advances in biotechnology have made a significant progress in development of science driven products leading to reductions in disease risks. Probiotics is one of these products and is seen as live micro-organisms which, when administered in adequate amounts, confer health benets on the host. Research over the past years have revealed that gut health is critical to overall wellbeing of an individual and that unhealthy guts contributes to a wide range of health challenges observed in nature. Therefore better understanding of gut microbes and their role in health benefit will lead to more products development and less disease incidence. This article present proof of concepts of dietary intervention with probiotics as designed to modulate the gut microbiota for health advantage, progress in the development of probiotics, probiotics research and mechanism, proliferation of commercial probiotics are discussed among others.
