Role of Oligofructose in the Management of Constipation
Role of Oligofructose in the Management of Constipation
“Oligofructose demonstrates potential in managing childhood constipation by positively modifying the gut microbial composition that inhibits pathogenic proliferation and strengthens the gut health.” Constipation is one of the most prevalent gastrointestinal issues in children. Evidence suggests a possible role of oligofructose in improving constipation symptoms through the gut microbiota.

Gut–Brain Axis: A Pathway for Better Cognitive Development
Gut–Brain Axis: A Pathway for Better Cognitive Development
“Disruption in the gut microbiome during the early years of life can adversely impact neurodevelopment." A complex, bidirectional communication between the gut and brain has been coined as the ‘gut-brain axis’, with the gut microbiota playing a central role, and early nutrition being a major modifiable factor.

The Learning Lead - Volume 5, Issue 1 2018 - Early Life Nutrition May Influence Developmental Myelination and Cognition
Previous studies have shown both the differences in myelination between exclusively breastfed and exclusively formula-fed infants. This milestone publication also looks at how the varying nutritional composition of different formulas may impact not only myelination but also differences in cognitive outcomes. It discusses using state-of-the-art neuroimaging techniques to examine longitudinal trajectories of myelination and measurements of cognition and assessing the role played by nutritional composition on these outcomes.
