The 2nd Annual Prebiotics Symposium, hosted by the Global Prebiotic Association, brought together leading researchers, product innovators, and category leaders to explore the evolving science and application of prebiotics.
Held during Natural Products Expo week in Anaheim, the symposium focused on where the field is headed — from emerging microbiome science to the role of evidence in shaping the future of the category.
The discussions highlighted how prebiotics are expanding beyond traditional gut health applications and moving into new areas including brain health, metabolic health, and next-generation ingredient innovation.
