NutriLeads to Highlight Precision Prebiotic Research at SupplySide West 2024

Company to Showcase Innovation Opportunities with Benicaros at Exhibit #3341

NutriLeads BV will highlight its latest advancements in precision prebiotics at SupplySide West, the premier event for dietary supplement, food, and beverage professionals, taking place in Las Vegas from October 28-31. The NutriLeads team will discuss new findings from clinical and preclinical studies published in 2024, which further support innovation opportunities for gut and immune health products. The company’s exhibit is #3341.

So far this year, NutriLeads has announced publication of three peer-reviewed studies demonstrating the ability of Benicaros, its precision prebiotic, to strengthen gut health, regardless of individual differences in gut microbiota composition. The robust, consistent and predictable benefits of Benicaros – plus its minimal daily serving size of only 300 mg – significantly expand the possibilities for gut health product formats and applications.

“We are excited to discuss our latest research, which clearly shows the superiority of precision prebiotics for cultivating a healthy and resilient gut ecosystem,” said Joana Carneiro-Wakefield, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of NutriLeads. “Not all prebiotics are created equal. Benicaros provides formulators new opportunities for product differentiation.”

New research from NutriLeads in 2024:

• A clinical study involving 146 subjects found that Benicaros consistently and predictably increased the relative abundance of common beneficial bacteria, including Bifidobacterium spp. (primarily B. adolescentis and B. longum), independent of varying baseline gut microbiota compositions. (Biomedicine & Pharmacotherapy, April 2024.)
• A study published in Food Hydrocolloids in August, used a widely recognized in vitro intestinal model, M-SHIME ®, to investigate the fermentation mechanisms of prebiotic fibers. The results showed that the consistency of prebiotic benefits is influenced, in part, by the molecular complexity of the fiber. Daily supplementation with Benicaros over three weeks resulted in consistent fermentation characteristics and benefits.
• A study published in September, provides new insights into how the unique molecular structure and cell surface patterns of Benicaros contribute to enhancing immune system responses. The findings, published in the current issue of Carbohydrate Polymers, further validate the effectiveness of Benicaros as an immune-support ingredient.

In addition to new scientific insights, NutriLeads will offer visitors Benicaros-infused jelly beans at the event. “We look forward to welcoming you at our booth, #3341,” said Dr. Carneiro-Wakefield.
