Carboxylic acids are nutrition sources for bacteria. They host cells and have a regulatory effect. First of all, cells of a gut microbiota are under effect. 

Carboxylic acids and other metabolites, depending on their concentration and composition, have a stimulatory effect on the growth and on the activity of some microorganisms and inhibit the development of others. Generally, it helps to optimize gut microbiota functions.

Acetate (acetic acid salt) and lactate (lactic acid salt) adjust the pH level, motion and secretory activity of the intestine, also they have laxative and antimicrobial effects.

Some of amino acids (glutamic acid, methionine, lysine, leucine, etc.) have a stimulating effect on a normal flora and probiotic bacteria. Glycine regulates the amount of bacteria cells.

Probiotics which contain bacteria often provide no effect. The majority of microorganisms don't survive in the stomach and in the upper intestine, the survived ones may be rejected by resident microbiota. Furthermore, probiotics can cause side effects such as allergy or diarrhea. At the same time co-administration of antibiotics and probiotics is not very effective, because the latter inhibit the activity of the bacteria. Besides, it is impossible to determine the optimum number of bacteria to provide a necessary effect. Therefore, it is preferred to use products that don't contain bacteria or their components.
