Although several internationally recognised scientific groups and non-governmental organisations have attempted to define ‘postbiotics,’ there remains no consensus. Leading experts have highlighted persistent problems of terminological inconsistency, lack of standardisation, and unclear boundaries between related concepts. What is needed is a comprehensive analysis that integrates existing definitions with considerations of manufacturing processes, mechanisms of action, and clinical applications.

Although several internationally recognised scientific groups and non-governmental organisations have attempted to define ‘postbiotics,’ there remains no consensus.
