A soluble corn fiber «INTENSFLOR», produced by NewBio, has become the subject of a clinical study by the Federal State Budgetary Institution Scientific Institution «Federal Research Center for Nutrition, Biotechnology and Food Safety» (the Federal Research Center of Nutrition and Biotechnology).
According to the results of the work, the specialists confirmed the effectiveness of the company's product as a prebiotic in the dietary therapeutic nutrition of people who have intestinal problems.
For about a month, 24 people were in the Clinic for Therapeutic Nutrition of the Federal Research Center of Nutrition and Biotechnology on a low-calorie version of the standard diet and took «INTENSFLOR» 3 times a day for 7 g. They diluted the dietary supplement in 200 ml of liquid. More than half of the patients noted that the optimal method of consumption is dissolution in fermented milk products, and a quarter preferred it in juice.
Corn fiber has demonstrated good organoleptic qualities and good tolerance: it does not change the taste, color, smell of other products and does not cause side effects.
Tatiana Zaletova, Head of the Day Patient Department of the Therapeutic Nutrition Clinic of the Federal Research Center of Nutrition and Biotechnology, internist, nutritionist, lipidologist, specialist in nutritional support, emphasized that the subjects highly appreciated the organoleptic properties of «INTENSFLOR» by 24 points out of 25.
Experts have recorded other positive effects in the participants of the clinical trial: a significant decrease in glucose and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, an increase in the number of bifidobacteria and lactobacilli, a decrease in conditionally pathogenic bacteria and even pathogenic ones. The patients also showed a positive trend in weight loss and improved stool quality.
