From early hypotheses to clinical application: the journey of pre, pro and synbiotics in early life nutrition
Understand Gut Microbiome Development and the Role of Synbiotics
Gain valuable insights into gut microbiome development, early life nutrition, and the role of synbiotics in supporting infant health in this expert led educational video. Prof. Jan Knol, Senior Director Global R&I at Danone Research, Adjunct Professor at University College Cork (UCC) and APC Microbiome Ireland, and Professor Emeritus at Wageningen University, explains how the infant gut microbiome develops, the importance of Bifidobacteria, and how early life factors such as Caesarean section birth, antibiotic exposure, and breastfeeding influence long term health outcomes.
What You Will Learn
This evidence based resource will help you build a deeper understanding of the latest research on the infant gut microbiome and the role of synbiotics in early life nutrition. By watching this video, you will:
- Understand how the gut microbiome develops during early life and why it is essential for immune, gut, and overall health.
- Learn why Bifidobacteria play a key role in establishing a healthy infant microbiome.
- Discover how factors such as Caesarean section birth, antibiotic exposure, and allergy can disrupt microbiome development and contribute to dysbiosis.
- Explore the science behind synbiotics and how combining prebiotics and probiotics can help restore beneficial bacteria.
- Review clinical evidence demonstrating how targeted nutritional strategies can support microbiome development, improve health outcomes, and reduce antibiotic use in specific infant populations.
