Good gut health is essential to the well-being of the body, as the gut plays a role in digestion,
nutrient absorption and immune system regulation. An imbalance in the gut microbiota can lead to
digestive disorders, inflammation and decreased immunity. Prebiotics are compounds that cannot be
digested by the human body, but can be utilized by beneficial gut microorganisms, such as probiotic
bacteria. Prebiotics serve as a food source for good bacteria, support their growth, and maintain the
balance of gut microbiota. This review aims to discuss the benefits of fiber prebiotics, specifically FOS:GOS
1:9 and Inulin, in supporting gut health and growth and development. The results showed that naturally
founded prebiotics in various foods have an important role in promoting the growth of beneficial gut
bacteria. Fiber prebiotics such as FOS:GOS 1:9 and Inulin act as “fertilizer” for benefical and nourishing
the gut microbiota, especially bifidobacteria and lactobacilli, which play a role in maintaining digestive
health. These prebiotics help to improve the balance of the gut microbiota, which in turn supports a
healthy body. Proper dosing is essential for optimal benefits from prebiotics.
