<\/a><\/p>\n\u201cWe did a follow-up on the babies and they also had fewer infections in their first months of life and also had a better installment of their gut microbiota,\u201d Feuz explained. \u201cThis occurred regardless of the delivery mode \u2014 C section or natural passage \u2014 so it\u2019s quite exciting, since, during pregnancy, you don\u2019t want to get any infections in the last semester in particular.\u201d<\/p>\n
The second study is also a placebo study looking at the benefits for premenstrual syndrome. It followed women during two cycles of menstruation and found that participants taking the probiotic had less bloating and different gut discomfort. These symptoms were statistically improved in the clinical study in the probiotic group.<\/p>\n
At the same time, Feuz spotlighted \u201cyet-to-be-published\u201d findings on the company\u2019s Cerebiome ingredient for cognitive health and healthy aging. At the trade show, Lallemand Health Solutions presented preliminary findings on an unpublished study conducted in healthy adults aged 65 to 80. She noted that all primary outcomes were positive, revealing promising results related to mobility, muscle health, and the gut-muscle axis.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe did a whole battery of tests and we demonstrated, versus placebo again, that there were significant results on all parameters,\u201d Fuez underscored. \u201cNot going into too many details, but we did also look at the muscle architecture, and we could see benefits compared to the placebo group.\u201d<\/p>\n
Shifting to healthy longevity<\/p>\n
Rahul Sachdeva, the global health category lead at Novoneis, highlighted healthy aging as one of the main trends at the show. Innova Market Insights\u2019 data suggests that 73% of consumers rate longevity and healthy aging as either extremely or very important.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you walk around the floor, there\u2019s a lot of buzz around this topic, and I think it\u2019s because there is a lot of growth in the aging population,\u201d he explained. \u201cPeople are living longer and, at the same time, birth rates have declined, the percentage of the population that is about the age of 60 is constantly increasing, and it is expected to cross two billion by 2050.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cObviously, that opens up the entire need for specific, specialized solutions for the population that\u2019s now entering the later life stages. We are in the middle of what\u2019s called the \u2018decade of healthy aging\u2019 by the UN \u2014 it\u2019s a very popular topic right now.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sachdeva pointed out that, historically, healthy aging and longevity targeted older adults, but this is shifting as Millennials and Gen Z are now driving interest in longevity innovations. He further said that individuals under 50 are increasingly proactive about starting their healthy aging journey early, which is influencing how companies position their offerings.<\/p>\n
\u201cFirstly, we\u2019re not calling it healthy aging, we\u2019re calling it healthy longevity, which is a more positive expression,\u201d he revealed. \u201cAs far as the designer for solutions is concerned, we\u2019re making them for a broader demographic, which is not just limited to the elderly, but also supporting the healthy longevity journey for people who want to start that earlier on, potentially already in their 40s.\u201d<\/p>\n
At the same time, Cassondre Saande, Novonesis\u2019 scientific advisor for the Americas, noted the importance of probiotics in the longevity space. She attested that probiotics offer a wide range of strain-specific benefits within the gut, such as supporting microbial balance, strengthening the intestinal barrier, and producing metabolites that influence the immune system along the gut-brain axis and metabolic pathways.<\/p>\n
Additionally, Saande said that the gut microbiome plays a vital role in neurological function while protecting against harmful pathogens. Because of its wide-ranging influence on bodily processes, it is considered essential to overall health and well-being throughout all stages of life.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen it comes to healthy aging, we know that the composition of the gut microbiome is changing as we age,\u201d Saande stressed. \u201cFor example, many studies reveal an age-related decline in beneficial bacteria along with an increase in pro-inflammatory microbes.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe good news is that research also increasingly suggests that if we can maintain a balanced microbiome, it will help contribute to better health into older age. Probiotic and symbiotic solutions are showing a lot of promise in that area.\u201d<\/p>\n
Additionally, Saande highlighted that the diverse functions of probiotics also make them valuable for women\u2019s and cardiometabolic health \u2014 the last of which is an increasing trend due to the increasing use of GLP-1 receptor agonists.<\/p>\n
Addressing the GLP-1 trend<\/p>\n
Vivien Sheehan, VP of regional business development at Kerry, also pointed to the continuing expansion of GLP-1. According to Sheehan, the number of users increases each year, and new treatments are expected to enter the market. Innova Market Insights\u2019 data suggests that one in two consumers across the globe see weight management is their main concern related to their physical health.<\/p>\n
As this growth persists, Sheehan said that supporting consumers along their GLP-1 experience and offering solutions that can help manage side effects is essential.<\/p>\n
To address this, Kerry conducted two consumer experience studies \u2014 one featuring the flagship probiotic BC30 (Bacillus coagulans\u00a0GBI-30, 6086) and another with its new rice-derived postbiotic, Plenibiotic. Sheehan said the study included over 300 GLP-1 users at various stages of treatment, which allowed researchers to assess the impact of these biotics on alleviating gastrointestinal side effects commonly associated with the medication.<\/p>\n
She stated that the findings were positive, showing that both the probiotic and postbiotic helped participants manage digestive discomfort, improving tolerance and overall medication experience.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Moreover, she said that these results underscore the potential of proactive health solutions to enhance adherence and quality of life for GLP-1 users. Additionally, the research suggested that personalized dietary adjustments could further support their wellness journey.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen you\u2019re on the medication, you\u2019re not as hungry, every calorie counts in terms of what you\u2019re eating. Clearly, protein is critically important in terms of managing muscle loss,\u201d Sheenan noted. \u201cWhere Kerry has a play here is helping customers with their taste solutions to mask off notes, particularly in plant-based and alternative proteins from dairy.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe can mask any off notes that might come through, especially as consumers are looking for higher concentrations of protein in the product,\u201d she concluded. \u201cSimilarly, we have technologies like our lactase enzyme to break down dairy lactose, to make lactose-free or lactose-reduced offerings, to make it more easily digestible for consumers on GLP-1 meds.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"At this year\u2019s SupplySide Global trade show in Las Vegas, Nevada, US, exhibitors highlighted targeted women\u2019s health solutions,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":265323,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[122398,49,48,84,122399,395],"class_list":{"0":"post-265322","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nutrition","8":"tag-at-this-years-supplyside-global-trade-show-in-las-vegas","9":"tag-ca","10":"tag-canada","11":"tag-health","12":"tag-ne","13":"tag-nutrition"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/265322","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=265322"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/265322\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/265323"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=265322"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=265322"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=265322"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
