Abstract: A literature review of the literature has been conducted. With the goal of thoroughly examining and tying all the studies already done on the impact of prebiotics on the diversity and composition of the gut microbiota in healthy people. 25 articles were selected for the research project. In accordance with the inclusion and exclusion criteria given. The method involved a methodical process of searching, choosing, extracting data, and synthesizing it. The findings of this research provide important information about how prebiotics affect the variety and composition of the gut microbiota in healthy individuals. The proband prebiotic principles are based on the modification of gut microbiota via dietary methods. Prebiotics encourage the growth or activities of specific bacterial genera and species in the gut microbiota in order to boost the host’s health. When certain food products with a prebiotic effect have been employed, preliminary studies have indicated encouraging beneficial outcomes, including changes in the composition of the gut flora.
