NutraFlora Prebiotic Fiber Increases Magnesium Absorption

A new study published in the journal Nutrition Research demonstrates the ability of NutraFlora short-chain fructooligosaccharides (scFOS) prebiotic fiber to increase magnesium absorption.

The study, conducted at Netherlands-based TNO, investigated short- and long-term intake of scFOS in adolescent girls with low habitual calcium intake. The subjects, 14 girls ages 12-14 years, were instructed to exclude prebiotics and probiotics from their diets during the study. In a randomized crossover design, separated by a 12-day washout, the subjects received two treatments including either scFOS or placebo. Data showed that magnesium absorption did not increase in the first 8 days. However, long-term magnesium absorption was significantly increased by 18% after 36 days, with an average of 7 grams/day of scFOS. For further information: www.gtcnutritionsolutions.com
