Feeling full with prebiotics

Enhancing satiety
With around one in three people in the EU now classed as overweight or obese, Europe's weight problem is impacting health care budgets. Consumption of satiety-enhancing food components could help to control the imbalance between energy intake and energy expenditure.
Prebiotics
In a collaborative in vivo study with FrieslandCampina’s Domo led by Dr. Joost Overduin, dietary prebiotics (galacto-oligosaccharides) decreased energy intake and increased gene expression as well as blood levels of satiety hormones. Thus, these prebiotics are potent satiety inducers.
