Summary

Mannooligosaccharides (MOS) derived from baker's yeast may have prebiotic properties such as improving gastrointestinal function. The aims of this study are to determine the effect of MOS on gastrointestinal function and symptoms and fecal microbiota in older adults.

Detailed description

Novel prebiotics with specific microbiome targets and without adverse gastrointestinal symptoms are needed for the exploration of health benefits. This is a 3-week, open-label pilot study designed to evaluate the effect of 15 g per day of yeast-derived mannooligosaccharides on gastrointestinal symptoms, stool frequency, fecal microbiome, and urinary metabolites.
