        | Core Tip | The imbalance of intestinal microbiota is one of the important factors in multiple diseases. Probiotics have a benefit on human health as live microorganisms that can positively regulate the intestinal microbial composition. One probiotic mixture, VSL#3, consisting of eight live bacterial strains plays an essential function in preventing and treating digestive systemic and other systemic diseases in animals and humans. There is increasing evidence that VSL#3 works by modulating intestinal barrier function. It is able to improve tight junction protein function and the composition of intestinal microbiota and regulate immune-related cytokine expression. This review seeks to provide an overview of the role of VSL#3 in various kinds of diseases and its potential for clinical use in the future. |
