Probiotics are vital in maintaining gut health. With increasing drug resistance, it is crucial to keep healthy gut microbes, making probiotics essential.
This study aimed to assess the awareness and knowledge of probiotics among postgraduate students of an Indian dental college.
This observational study utilized an online self-administered questionnaire, which was developed using a thorough review of the literature, consisting of 19 questions divided into three parts. The term probiotics was also assessed as general commercial compositions of both probiotics and prebiotics. The data gathered were analyzed statistically.
Postgraduate dental students were well aware of probiotic terms from TV or newspapers; however, necessary technical specifications were not known during purchase and were not familiar with trade names of probiotic preparations in the market.
Students have good knowledge of probiotics and associated health benefits but technical information concerning commercial probiotics is lacking.
益生菌对维持肠道健康至关重要。随着耐药性的增加,保持健康的肠道微生物至关重要,这使得益生菌必不可少。
本研究旨在评估一所印度牙科学院研究生对益生菌的认识和了解。
本观察性研究采用在线自填问卷,该问卷是在对文献进行全面综述的基础上制定的,包括19个问题,分为三个部分。益生菌一词也被评估为益生菌和益生元的一般商业成分。收集到的数据进行了统计分析。
牙科研究生对电视或报纸上的益生菌术语很熟悉;然而,购买时不了解必要的技术规格,也不熟悉市场上益生菌制剂的商品名。
学生对益生菌及其相关健康益处有很好的了解,但缺乏有关商业益生菌的技术信息。
