Nutr Cancer 72:1355–1365 Scientists Gibson and Roberfroid coined the term ‘synbiotic’ in 1995 to refer to a combination of a probiotic and a prebiotic.The letters and numbers designate the strain. For example, in Bifidobacterium breve SD-BR3-IT, ‘ Bifidobacterium’ is the genus, ‘ breve’ is the species, and ‘SD-BR3-IT’ is the strain specification. You are home to a community of trillions of microorganisms, including 38,000,000,000,000 bacteria that live in and on you. They perform critical functions like digesting food, managing inflammation, and synthesizing key vitamins, metabolites and neurotransmitters. This is the microbiome.
