Notably among mild COVID-19 patients, it will be important to maintain a healthy immune response with a favorable balance of intestinal microbes by introducing synbiotics which will address any issues associated with dysbiosis in the gastrointestinal tract of the host. The mechanism of action of synbiotics suggests that supplementation acts to promote probiotic-mediated reductions in NF-κB activation and TNF-α production; in these cases, synbiotics function as immunomodulatory agents 45, 46.
