NutriLeads B.V. will highlight new clinical research findings and product innovation examples for its precision prebiotic fiber Benicaros® at SupplySide Global, October 28–31 in Las Vegas. The NutriLeads team will be available at booth #6173 to share the company’s latest research discoveries and product development examples.
“We look forward to sharing our latest research and product application examples at SupplySide Global,” said Sue McKay, Ph.D., Nutrition & Health Manager at NutriLeads. “Benicaros® continues to stand out because of its robust science demonstrating consistent benefits for all gut ecosystems and for immune health.”
New Research Expands Understanding of Gut, Immune and Barrier Benefits of Benicaros®
A new randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial published recently in Microorganisms, evaluated the effects of four weeks of Benicaros (carrot rhamnogalacturonan-I, or cRG-I) supplementation in healthy adults. The study assessed gut microbiota composition, metabolic activity, immune cell activation, and gut health outcomes using validated questionnaires. Benicaros was well tolerated with excellent compliance.
- The results showed a rapid prebiotic effect, with significant increases in health-promoting Bifidobacteria that peaked at week three.
- Data also supported earlier findings related to innate immune training by priming dendritic cells—the body’s immune “scouts” that help detect and respond to threats.
- Benicaros® improved gut microbiota balance even in participants already consuming fiber-rich diets, and it improved stool consistency.
- Additional lab studies showed Benicaros and its fermentation products, such as short-chain fatty acids, helped protect the gut barrier under stress and inflammatory conditions.
“This second clinical intervention study confirms gut and immune health benefits of Benicaros® and strengthens the evidence for its additional role in protecting the gut barrier,” said Sue McKay, Ph.D., Nutrition & Health Manager at NutriLeads.
The study findings will be part of a new gut health white paper the company will debut at SupplySide Global.
