Enriched chicory inulin increases calcium absorption mainly in girls with lower calcium absorption
TLDR
The most consistent identifiable determinant of a beneficial effect of Synergy1 on calcium absorption was the fractional calcium absorption during the placebo period, with those individuals with lower calcium absorption showing the greatest benefit.About:

TL;DR: The present document has been written by a group of both academic and industry experts and aims to validate and expand the original idea of the prebiotic concept, defined as the selective stimulation of growth and/or activity of one or a limited number of microbial genus(era)/species in the gut microbiota that confer(s) health benefits to the host.

Effects of dietary fiber and its components on metabolic health.
James M. Lattimer,Mark D. Haub +1 more
TL;DR: A review of the most up to date data concerning dietary fiber and its effects on metabolic health is examined to give a better understanding of how and why dietary fiber may decrease the risk for certain diseases.

Inulin-Type Fructans: Functional Food Ingredients
TL;DR: Inulin-type fructans resist digestion and function as dietary fiber improving bowel habits, but unlike most dietary fibers, their colonic fermentation is selective, thus causing significant changes in the composition of the gut microflora with increased and reduced numbers of potentially health-promoting bacteria and potentially harmful species, respectively as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Introducing inulin-type fructans.
TL;DR: A series of animal studies demonstrate that inulin-type fructans affect the metabolism of lipids primarily by decreasingtriglyceridaemia because of a reduction in the number of plasma VLDL particles and the human data largely confirm the animal experiments.

Growth at Adolescence
TL;DR: This book is the expansion of a prize essay on the subject of obesity in childhood, with special reference to Hilde Bruch's theory on the causation of this condition, and is a useful summary of the statistical facts regarding obesity.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the presence of inulin and oligofructose as natural ingredients in the western diet.
TL;DR: Methods to determine inulin and oligofructose in natural foodstuffs are optimized and used to determine the loss of inulin during storage and during preparation of the food, which allow quantification of the amount of in insulin and olig ofructose in the average daily western diet.

TL;DR: Addition of the two experimental fibres (inulin or sugar beet fibre) to normal mixed diets can improve Ca balance without adverse effects on other mineral retention.

Oligofructose stimulates calcium absorption in adolescents
TL;DR: An increase in true fractional calcium absorption (%) was found after consumption of oligofructose (mean difference +/- SE of difference: 10.8+/-5.6; P < 0.05, one sided).

Presence of Inulin and Oligofructose in the Diets of Americans
TL;DR: Two nonconsecutive 24-h dietary recalls from >15,000 Americans of all ages were conducted, and a special database of inulin and oligofructose was developed specifically for the analyses, showing little difference across gender and age.
