Tuesday, May 2, 2023

WAGENINGEN, the Netherlands, May 02, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- An ex vivo study has demonstrated that BeniCaros®, an upcycled soluble carrot fiber from NutriLeads BV, has the right level of structural complexity to produce consistent, significant and beneficial effects on the gut microbiota despite differences in individual microbiota composition. This unique precision prebiotic robustly stimulated growth of common beneficial gut bacteria, significantly increased metabolite production and ultimately created a more consistent gut microbiota composition among healthy subjects. The results were recently published in the peer-reviewed journal, Nutrients.

Key Points: 
  • This unique precision prebiotic robustly stimulated growth of common beneficial gut bacteria, significantly increased metabolite production and ultimately created a more consistent gut microbiota composition among healthy subjects.
  • “Variability in the gut microbial communities in individuals renders it challenging to demonstrate efficacy of functional ingredients.
  • This innovative technology enabled analysis of 24 individuals compared with conventional microbiota study methodologies that involve few subjects.
  • A common limitation of prebiotics when large daily serving sizes (10-20 grams) are recommended is that they may cause bloating, gas and gut discomfort in sensitive people.
