These biocatives show significant impact on human health. This track precisely consist sub tracks like Tissue regeneration and disease prevention, Regulation of stem cell function, Skin penetration and oral absorption, Anti Inflammatory Diet.

Prebiotics and Probiotics

Prebiotics are indigestible carbohydrates that act as sustenance for probiotics. When prebiotics and probiotics are combined, they form a synbiotic. Proved results of prebiotics and probiotics beneficial health effects on human body made this conference  to elite this topic as one of the main track of this session and which deals with few more essential topics like Prebiotics and Probiotics role in human gastrointestinal, skin and oral health,  Lactobacillus sps And Probiotic Nutrition, Fructoiligosaccharides, Risks and side-effects of prebiotics and probiotics over human body as its sub tracks.
