Background

A starch found in the tubers and roots of many plants. Since it is hydrolyzable to fructose, it is classified as a fructosan. It has been used in physiologic investigation for determination of the rate of glomerular function.

Indication

Historically used in an important medical test of renal function, specifically a measure of glomerular filtration rate. Sometimes used to help relieve symptoms of diabetes mellitus - a condition characterised by hyperglycemia and/or hyperinsulinemia.

Design and reporting of prebiotic and probiotic clinical trials in the context of diet and the gut

Dietary fiber, probiotics, and prebiotics influence gut microbiota and health, with studies highlighting strain-specific effects and the importance of food matrix in delivery efficacy.

October Launch Pad

REBBL launched a 26 g Protein Shake with low environmental impact, Nurri released lactose-free protein milk shakes, Nature’s Bounty expanded its women’s health portfolio with Intimacy Booster, Healthy pH Balance, and Hair Growth Gummies, Boka introduced pre and probiotic supplements for oral and gut health, Force Factor and Nutrition21 partnered for Hair Growth Accelerator supplements, Jarrow Formulas launched Multi+ multivitamins for men, women, and mood support, and Happy Aging released NAD+ Longevity Shots for skin health and cellular detoxification.

Synbiotics in patients at risk for spontaneous preterm birth: protocol for a multi-centre

Pregnant women at risk for sPTB will be randomized to receive synbiotics or placebo from 8-10 weeks gestation until delivery. The synbiotic contains eight Lactobacillus strains, inulin, FOS, and D-mannose. Adherence will be monitored via diaries, and standard care protocols for sPTB prevention will be followed. Primary outcomes include gestational age at delivery and PTB rates, with secondary outcomes covering neonatal and microbiome analyses.
