HOWARU Restore, a unique probiotic formulation incorporated into dietary supplements and already sold and marketed in 10 countries, has a well-documented ability to replenish intestinal microbiota during gastrointestinal stresses.
At SupplySide West, BENEO demonstrated how nutritionally sound snacks can help provide the necessary requirement of dietary fiber and make a valuable contribution to a balanced diet.
College students, who took probiotics had shorter, less severe colds than students who did not take the beneficial microorganisms, U.S. researchers found.
There exists an abundance of scientific data supporting the positive benefits of fiber in reducing the risk of a number of chronic conditions, but most Americans fall far short of recommended daily consumption levels. Despite consumer awareness of fiber’s importance in the diet, it still is difficult to obtain enough fiber from most common foods.
Growing clinical evidence suggests that resistant starch increases insulin sensitivity in the large and growing numbers of prediabetics, a segment of the population of interest to manufacturers of healthier foods.
The BENEO-Institute has found that only six countries out of 27 analyzed are consuming the World Health Organization’s (WHO) recommended daily fiber intake of at least 25g of total dietary fibers from wholegrain cereals, fruits and vegetables per day.
New research funded by Tate & Lyle Ingredients Americas Inc., and presented at the FASEB Experimental Biology 2012 conference in San Diego, adds to the body of emerging research on fibers, including additional support for the role of soluble corn fiber in bone health.
