Abstract

Abstract: The intestinal flora plays a vital role in the health of the human body, and imbalance will induce a variety of diseases. Natural products have been proven to prevent and treat a variety of diseases by regulating the balance of intestinal flora, but the specific mechanism of action is still unclear. This article mainly reviews the interactions of saponins, flavonoids, alkaloids and polysaccharides in natural products with intestinal flora, and summarizes their metabolites and metabolic pathways, with a view to further research on natural products to regulate the intestinal tract. The mechanism of action of the flora provides a reference.

Key words: Intestinal flora, Natural product, Metabolism, Mechanism
