- The study aimed to assess the effects of green banana powder (GBP) and pineapple fiber powder (PFP) on gut health and the gut microbiome in adults, considering their potential as functional foods and dietary supplements.
- Participants consumed specific amounts of GBP or PFP over 14 days while avoiding other prebiotic and probiotic supplements, with health metrics and stool samples collected for analysis.
- Results showed that both GBP and PFP increased beneficial bacteria and metabolites, improved bowel regularity and metabolism, and indicated a positive impact on overall gut health, making them valuable additions to diet.
Background: Plant-based diets offer more beneficial microbes and can modulate gut microbiomes to improve human health. We evaluated the effects of the plant-based OsomeFood Clean Label meal range ('AWE' diet), on the human gut microbiome.
Methods: Over 21 days, ten healthy participants consumed OsomeFood meals for five consecutive weekday lunches and dinners and resumed their regular diets for other days/meals.
