Prebiotic claim awarded for inulin and oligofructose in Indonesia The National Agency of Drug and Food Control of Indonesia (Badan Pengawas Obat dan Makanan) has approved a prebiotic claim for the chicory root fibers inulin and oligofructose. …
Researchers, in a double blind placebo-controlled study, examined the effects of 7.5 grams of GOS (Biotis™) supplementation on healthy young females ages 18 to 25, showing that stress indicators were reduced and emotional behavior improved following 3 weeks…
Researchers at the University of Missouri have determined that microbiome produced enzyme Bile Salt Hydrolase (BSH) microbiome activity can be imaged and quantified directly in vivo using real-time noninvasive bioluminescent imaging allowing a measure of prebiotic activity.…
Researchers investigated the in vitro prebiotic potential of Ganoderma lucidum and Pleurotus ostreatus mushrooms in healthy and osteopenic women determining that mushrooms that are rich in beta-glucans may exert beneficial in vitro effects on bone physiology by alterations in the gut microbiota and/or SCFA production.…
The Global Prebiotic Association (GPA), the worldwide resource for prebiotic education, insights and awareness building, is delighted to announce the addition of five new members. ADM and Aquamin join GPA at the Member level and Anderson Advanced…
This study from the University of Roehampton looks at the impact of synbiotics on immunity in the elderly. Read it
Researchers from the University of California (UC), San Diego, and collaborators conducted a cross-sectional analysis of 567 older men quantifying serum vitamin D metabolites using LC-MSMS and defining stool sub-Operational Taxonomic Units from16S ribosomal RNA gene sequencing…
Krzycki and his colleagues discovered that E. limosum interacts with L-carnitine in a different way in the gut, and that interaction eliminates L-carnitine’s role in production of TMA (other nutrients also participate in TMA production in the gut). CLICK…
Human milk oligosaccharides, such as 2′-fucosyllactose (2′-FL), and galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS), a prebiotic carbohydrate mixture, are being increasingly added to infant formulas, necessitating the understanding of their impact on the oral microbiota. Here, for the first time, the…
our results suggest that NB-induced TAC causes increased gut permeability coupled with compositional changes in the fecal microbiome and VOC profile. Prebiotic supplementation with OMNi-LOGiC® FIBRE seemed to induce modifications of the fecal microbiome and VOC profile but…
