Evidence proved that gut microbiota plays a critical role in
human health and diseases. The host metabolic activities
and the composition of microbiota are closely associated
with host immune system that is linked to metabolic and
cognitive behaviour of the host. Probiotics are defined as live
microorganisms that exhibit health benefits on the host when
administered in adequate amounts. The possible mechanism
of health-promoting activities of probiotics is associated with
followings: positive alteration of gut-microbiota, secretion of
antagonistic substances, and neurotransmitters. The probiotic
and probiotic-based fermented foods are considered as a safe
and complementary therapeutic agent for the management
of metabolic disorders and cognitive declines. The recent
studies revealed that the probiotics improved the health
status of obese people by altering the gut microbiota, and
the regular consumption of probiotic is desirable to preserve
the health benefits. In the case of diabetes, the consumption
of probiotics may reduce the fasting blood glucose,
blood pressure, improved the lipid profile, glycaemic and
inflammatory status. The multi-strain probiotic formulations
exhibited positive results in most of the studies. Probiotic
supplementation improved the mood state, reduced
depression, stress, and anxiety, and reduced the severity of
the autism. Not all the probiotic supplementations provide
positive health benefits. It is purely based on the strain,
combinations, dosage, duration, supportive activities, and
host physiology. However, the safety, stability and shelf life of
probiotics product must be carefully studied to ensure their
beneficial impact on metabolic disorders and mental health.
