About this listen

Despite the growing body of research, we are still in the early stages of understanding the gut microbiome. Consumer interest in biotics is growing and this trend is driving more research into pre, pro, post and synbiotics and their potential health benefits. This episode focuses on prebiotics, which are defined as “a substrate that is selectively utilized by host microorganisms conferring a health benefit” and are often associated with dietary fibers but may also derive from non-fiber substances such as polyphenols.

Tune into this episode with Hannah Ackermann, MBA, RDN to learn about:

● what prebiotics are and what they have to do with fiber

● research regarding the known and emerging health benefits of prebiotics

● health claims for prebiotics

● trends in consumer interest in biotics

● low FODMAP diets

● what to look for on food labels

● how different prebiotic fibers may impact GI symptoms

● the prebiotic fiber ingredient Arrabina Wheat Fiber

● resources for health professionals and the public

Commercial support has been provided by COMET, a company specializing in prebiotic dietary fiber ingredients.
