Nutrition

Experienced in regulatory frameworks worldwide

Legislation

Experienced in regulatory frameworks worldwide

IThe food and feed industry is continuously seeing a number of legislative changes. Ongoing communication with authorities, opinion leaders, industry associations and our network of specialists allows us to closely monitor and comment on the regulatory framework – both on a national and international level. This knowledge will not only help in complying with legislation, it is also of great value when tapping into new markets.

Gut Talk with Dr. Raylene Reimer

Prebiotics and the gut microbiome – Gut Talk with Dr. Raylene Reimer

In her interview with Today’s Dietitian Dr. Raylene Reimer, University of Calgary, candidly shares her experience with mind-blowing research on prebiotics and chronic disease. She also clarifies misconceptions on the use of ‘biotics’ terms and is very straight that the only proven prebiotics are inulin, fructooligosaccharides (FOS), and galactooligosaccharides (GOS). Additionally, she is sharing some tips on how to take care of your gut microbiome for overall health.

Prebiotics and the gut microbiome – Presented by Dr. Raylene Reimer

Don’t miss this long-awaited recording, presented during Today’s Dietitian Spring Symposium 2023. Raylene’s focus is the importance of gut microbiota for health at all ages, illustrated with examples of scientific research related to natural ingredients such as prebiotic fibres from chicory root which can modify the gut microbiota, to improve digestive health with outreach even to the management of chronic diseases, such as obesity and osteoarthritis, among others.

New consumer survey reveals demand for scientifically proven prebiotics

Prebiotics: Harnessing the power of the gut microbiome

Dr. Hannah Holscher, University of Illinois, spoke at Today’s Dietitian Symposium 2022 on prebiotics, the gut microbiome and how they can influence protective functions, vital to human health. Prebiotics have a positive effect on the intestinal microbiome to improve digestive health, support weight management, glycaemic control and bone health. This guide to proven prebiotics also identifies ways of increasing prebiotic fibre consumption in the diet to support health.

Healthy aging, eat well and stay active

Healthy Ageing: More than eating well and staying active

Improving dietary quality and promoting physical activity are vital to improve the health span of older adults, but what does research show about the use of BENEO’s functional ingredients, such as isomaltulose and chicory root fibres to help lower disease risk and improve health outcomes? Time to talk about it – the United Nations “Health Ageing Decade” has already begun. Listen in to Chris Rosenbloom as she takes us through taking small steps toward healthier aging.
