Nutritional Benefits
Probiotic
Although people often think of bacteria and other microorganisms as harmful “germs,” many are actually helpful. Some bacteria could help digest food, destroy disease-causing cells, or produce vitamins. Probiotics are live microorganisms that help to maintain a desirable balance of beneficial bacteria in the digestive system.
The most common probiotics are bacteria that belong to groups called Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium.
3 Prebiotics
Prebiotics promote the growth of good Bifidus bacteria to help maintain a healthy digestive system. In other words, prebiotics are the nutrients that selectively stimulate the growth of the good bacteria, probiotics, in the digestive system.
Galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) and Inulin
Extracted from natural sources like milk and chicory root plant, GOS and Inulin are prebiotics that can stimulate the growth of the good bacteria Bifidobacteria and Lactobacilli1-3.
Galactomannans from Carob Bean Gum (CBG)
The use of CBG has been shown to increase the number of Bifidobacteria and Lactobacilli and lower intestinal pH4,5. As a dietary fibre, its relatively high water-holding capacity could also contribute to fecal bulking and increasing stool weight, thus helping to support a healthy defecation pattern and frequency6.
SN-2 Palmitate
Palmitic acid is one of the most common fatty acids in milk. The sn-2 positioning of palmitic acid promotes the absorption of palmitic acid and calcium, whereas those at sn-1 and sn-3 positions is released as free palmitic acid which can readily interact with minerals (e.g. calcium) to form insoluble soaps7. These soaps are generally associated with hard stools and overall decreased absorption of palmitic acids and minerals like calcium8,9.
Cow’s milk fat provides a natural source of sn-2 palmitate10.
