Paraprobiotics are inactivated bacterial cells that offer the same health benefits as live probiotics but are much more stable and don’t require refrigeration. When added to high-protein ice cream, paraprobiotics help boost immune function and gut health while improving the product’s texture and shelf-life. This makes paraprobiotic-enriched ice cream an ideal functional dessert for athletes, people with dietary restrictions, and anyone seeking healthier frozen food options.

When eaten, these compounds pass through the stomach and small intestine unchanged, then are broken down by beneficial bacteria in the colon. This breakdown produces helpful substances that support gut health, reduce inflammation, and may help prevent digestive diseases like irritable bowel syndrome and inflammatory bowel disease.

Researchers tested two natural products—triacetin and a mushroom blend—to see if they could help people with IBS by improving their gut bacteria and strengthening their intestinal lining. Both products successfully increased beneficial short-chain fatty acids and improved barrier integrity, with triacetin having the added advantage of producing less uncomfortable gas. These findings suggest these products could offer a new dietary approach to managing IBS symptoms.
