Role of probiotics and gut microbiome in health in Vietnam

Gut microbiome and probiotics in modern healthcare
The gut microbiome consists of trillions of microorganisms living in the digestive system, playing a critical role in digestion, immunity, and overall health.
According to Assoc. Prof. Dr. Tran Thanh Duong, Director of the National Institute of Nutrition, approximately 70% of the body’s immune system is located in the gut, highlighting its central role in protecting the body.
In Vietnam, more than 60% of the population experience digestive issues, yet these are often under-recognized. In this context, probiotic supplementation has become a common approach to support microbiome balance and strengthen immunity.
However, the effectiveness of probiotics does not only depend on intake, but on how many live bacteria actually reach the gut.
Microencapsulation technology improves probiotic stability
To address stability challenges, AnaBio's patented microencapsulation technology creates a microscopic protective barrier around these sensitive ingredients. This not only shields them from degradation but also masks unwanted tastes and ensures their targeted release exactly when and where they're needed in the body.
The EnCaptimus Technology designed to help protect valuable ingredients reduces exposure to heat, moisture, and oxygen during manufacturing, storage, and digestion, enabling more beneficial bacteria to reach the gut where they can provide their intended benefits.
As a result, more viable bacteria can reach the gut, improving product performance. This forms the basis for next-generation probiotic products that go beyond product claims and deliver measurable outcomes.
Eurofins Sac Ky Hai Dang supports validation and product development
In the probiotic market, scientific evidence is increasingly important. Eurofins Sac Ky Hai Dang plays a key role in translating formulations and technologies into measurable results.
Rather than focusing only on final testing, . Eurofins Sac Ky Hai Dang supports product evaluation throughout development:
- Quantification of viable bacteria (CFU)
- Stability assessment over shelf life
- Survival testing under simulated gastrointestinal conditions
In addition, microbiological and quality analysis capabilities help ensure product safety and compliance with regulatory requirements.
In collaborations with partners such as AnaBio Technologies, Eurofins Sac Ky Hai Dang acts as an independent validation partner, providing data-driven evidence to support product performance and market credibility.
Quality control determines probiotic effectiveness
The effectiveness of a probiotic product depends not only on formulation, but on consistent quality control across its lifecycle.
Key factors include:
- stability during storage
- viable bacterial count
- survival through the digestive system
Combining protective technologies with advanced analytical testing enables the development of probiotics with clear scientific backing, improving both consumer trust and market competitiveness.
