Recorded Webinar: A Guide to Prebiotics & the Gut Microbiome

Due to the overwhelming success of this Lunch presentation during the Today's Dietitian Spring Symposium in Bonita Springs, we are offering this content as a complimentary 1-credit continuing education webinar with support from BENEO-Institute, an initiative that provides the latest research and knowledge in nutrition science and legislation related to ingredients such as chicory root fibers, isomaltulose, and more.

The gut microbiome has metabolic, immunologic, and protective functions vital to human health. Prebiotics are key dietary substrates that affect the intestinal microbiome providing benefits such as gastrointestinal health, weight management, glycemic control, immunomodulation, and bone health.

This guide on proven prebiotics will be an important tool for you to help your patients and clients identify opportunities to increase prebiotic fiber consumption in their diets to help support their health.

Learning Objectives

After completing this activity, health care professionals will be better able to:

  1. Describe the various functions of the gut microbiome.
  2. Define prebiotics and list accepted prebiotics.
  3. Compare and contrast fibers and prebiotics.
  4. Summarize the benefits of consuming prebiotics.
