Abstract: Metabolic disorders (MDs) have emerged as a global health concern, affecting a significant portion of the population. Factors such as urbanization, sedentary lifestyles, and dietary choices may increase the prevalence of MDs, including type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), cardiovascular diseases, and obesity. Recent studies have shed light on the association between the gut microbiota (GM) and the development of MDs. Disruptions in the gut microbiota and alterations in metabolic pathways may be attributed to dietary habits, lifestyle choices, and specific diseases, resulting in metabolic disorders. This review examines the correlation between MDs, gut dysbiosis, and the utilization of synbiotics in MDs. Additionally, we explore the roles of metabolic endotoxemia, bile acid metabolism, energy harvest, and tryptophan-derived metabolites in mediating the link between gut dysbiosis and the development of MDs. The manuscript also highlights the potential of synbiotic interventions as a promising therapeutic strategy for managing and treating MDs. Clinical evidence suggests that synbiotic supplementation positively impacts various components of metabolic health, including weight management, blood sugar control, lipid profiles, and inflammatory markers. Nevertheless, additional research is needed to determine the long-term effectiveness and safety of synbiotic interventions, particularly in larger and diverse populations.
