Across 3 studies, 2 reported beneficial effects and 1 reported a neutral effect on modulated gut microbiota. Predominant effect size is small-to-moderate, but evidence is limited. No consistent dose, form, or duration data were available; one study specifically targeted pregnant women with gestational diabetes.
Caveats: Evidence base is small (only 3 studies) — conclusions should be considered preliminary. All studies are reviews without primary data, and none reported statistical significance. No information on specific doses, forms, or consistent study durations was available.
bacteriocin-producing probiotic lactic acid bacteria in the modulation of gut microbiota correcting dysbiosis
live probiotic bacteria present in some food products (which transit through the GIT) have been shown to interact with the host immune system and confer several health benefits
using dietary supplements, such as probiotics, prebiotics, and synbiotics to target the gut microbiota to regulate the disordered gut microbiota would become a potential method that benefits for preventing and treating GDM
