“特定健康用途食品”是由日本政府监管和批准的循证功能食品。利用益生菌/益生元开发了改善肠道菌群的产品，并被批准为促进肠道健康的FoSHU。抑制肠道消化酶的食物物质也被用来开发福舒产品，以降低血糖或血脂水平。最近的研究表明，饮食成分，特别是益生菌/益生元，可能在调节肠道免疫系统中发挥重要作用。虽然缺乏科学证据，但它们可以抑制肠道炎症和过敏反应，因此可能有望作为功能性食品的成分。
FoSHU (food for specified health uses) are evidence-based functional foods regulated and approved by the Japanese government. Products to improve intestinal microflora were developed using probiotics/prebiotics and were approved as FoSHU to promote gut health. Food substances which suppress intestinal digestive enzymes were also used to develop FoSHU products to lower blood glucose or lipid levels. Recent studies have shown that dietary components, particularly probiotics/prebiotics, may play important roles in regulating the gut immune system. Although scientific evidence is still lacking, they may suppress intestinal inflammation and allergic reactions and therefore may hold promise as ingredients in functional foods.
