Effect of MSPrebiotic on Gastrointestinal Function and Blood Glucose Levels

The objective of the study is to investigate the impact of daily consumption of MSPrebiotic at a dosage level of 30 g per day for 12 weeks on gastrointestinal microbiota in the elderly (\> 70 years age) and another age group (30 to 50 years). In addition, impact of MSPrebiotic on short chain fatty acids, glucose and insulin levels as well as metabolomic changes will also be studied. A randomized, double-blinded study will be conducted to assess the health benefits of MSPrebiotic and compared with a placebo. This study will provide substantiation for a beneficial effect of MSPrebiotic resistant starch on gut microbiome.
