The present study was designed to evaluate the effect of 2 different combinations prebiotic ingredients, polydextrose (PDX), galactooligosaccharides (GOS), and lactulose (LOS), at intake levels on overall growth tolerance in healthy term infants up 120 days age.Healthy, formula-fed, (n = 226) were randomly assigned 1 3 formula groups: control group 76), PG4 (control supplemented with 4 g/L a blend, n 74), or PGL8 8 76). Anthropometric measurements taken 14, 30, 60, 90, age, 24-hour dietary...

The 2015–2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGA) recommend that the general population should consume about 8 ounces (oz.) per week of a variety seafood, providing approximately 250 mg day eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic (DHA), pregnant lactating women 8–12 oz. seafood.We determined usual intakes, percentage not meeting recommendations, trends in EPA DHA intakes among childbearing-age (15–44 years age) using NHANES cycles 2001–2002 through 2013–2014.For women,...

The aim of the study was to evaluate effect infant formula with polydextrose (PDX) and galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) on fecal microbiota secretory IgA (sIgA).In present double-blind, randomized study, term infants received control (Enfamil Lipil) or same PDX/GOS (4 g/L, 1:1 ratio; PDX/GOS) for 60 days; a reference breast-fed group included. Formula intake, tolerance, stool characteristics were collected via electronic diary analyzed by repeated measures analysis variance. Anthropometric...

One third of U.S. adults report short sleep (<7 h), which has been linked to negative health outcomes. Inadequate intake micronutrients across the adult population reported, and a relationship between conditions micronutrient is emerging. This cross-sectional analysis National Health Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES 2005-2016) (n = 26,211) showed that participants with duration had lower usual (Food + Supplements) calcium, magnesium, vitamin D in all aged 19+ years, K 19-50 even after...

The role that marine omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) may play in reducing the risk for developing depression and/or anxiety is unclear. present study examined relationships between plasma levels of total PUFAs, docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and non-DHA PUFAs with medical-record documented (both historical recent, within last 12 months) UK Biobank. associations these outcomes reported use fish oil supplements (FOS) were also examined. Data from 258,354 participants who had data on...

Weight-loss diets restrict intakes of energy and macronutrients but overlook micronutrient profiles. Commercial diet plans may provide insufficient micronutrients. We analyzed nutrient profiles three compared their sufficiency to Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs) for male U.S. adults. Hypocaloric vegan (Eat Live-Vegan, Aggressive Weight Loss; ETL-VAWL), high-animal-protein low-carbohydrate (Fast Metabolism Diet; FMD) weight maintenance (Eat, Drink Be Healthy; EDH) were evaluated. Seven...

To determine reference ranges of circulating long-chain (LC) omega-3 fatty acids: eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), docosapentaenoic (DPA) and docosahexaenoic (DHA) in a nationally representative population Americans. provide context, serum concentrations LC were compared with associated consuming the recommended amount EPA DHA by Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGA) Omega-3 Index (EPA+DHA).

To assess the effect of docosahexaenoic acid and arachidonic supplementation in infant formula on incidence respiratory illnesses, pediatricians assigned infants to receive acid/arachinonic acid-supplemented or control formula. Anthropometrics, medical history, illnesses were reported. Among 1342 infants, there was a higher bronchiolitis versus groups at 5, 7, 9 months ( P &lt; .01). Weight, length, head circumference similar for both groups. Infants fed supplemented with 0.32% 0.64%...

Healthy, term infants received extensively hydrolyzed casein formula (EHF; control), the same supplemented with Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (EHF-LGG), or partially whey:casein (60:40) LGG (PHF-LGG), in this double-blind, randomized, controlled, parallel, prospective study. Anthropometric measures and 24-hour dietary tolerance recalls were obtained at 30, 60, 90, 120, 150 days of age. Blood collected a subset was analyzed for fatty acid profiles plasma red blood cells markers allergic...

In the United States, women, while having a longer life expectancy than men, experience differential risk for chronic diseases and have unique nutritional needs based on physiological hormonal changes across span. However, much of what is known about health research conducted in men. Additional complexity assessing within gender include variations genetics, body compositions, milieus, underlying diseases, medication usage, with this list expanding as we consider these variables course. It...

Healthy 9- to 48-month-old children (n = 133) were randomized receive a cow's-milk-based follow-on formula (control) or the same with polydextrose and galactooligosaccharides (PDX/GOS) for 108 days. Pediatricians assessed diarrheal disease, stool pattern, acute respiratory infection, systemic antibiotic use, growth. The 2 groups had similar weight-for-length/height z score odds of having use; however, PDX/GOS greater increased defecation than control (P ≤ 0.01). Addition PDX GOS was well...

Rapid uptake of vitamin C into blood and retention in tissues are important indicators the efficacy supplementation its immune-supporting role. The objective this study was to evaluate bioavailability plasma (reflective recent intake) leukocytes tissue stores influences on immune function) from a novel formulation, Ester-C(®).The double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover trial. Thirty-six subjects, 18-60 years age, were randomized receive placebo (PL, 0 mg C), ascorbic acid (AA, 1000...

Poverty may be a barrier to acquiring adequate nutrient levels for the prevention of osteoporosis. Age and nutritional intake are major factors that contribute osteoporosis prevalence. This study examined relationship between markers poverty with calcium / vitamin D A cross-sectional analysis United States population was performed using National Health Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) data from 2007–2010 2013–2014 older US adults (n = 3,901 participants, 50 years old older). Odds...

Very fussy or extremely infants were randomized to receive: soy-based formula (Soy: n = 82) a partially hydrolyzed cow's milk protein (CMP), low-lactose (PHF: 77) in multicenter, double-blind, randomized, parallel, prospective 28-day feeding trial. Body weight and infant tolerance reported. Adverse events recorded throughout the study. A significant reduction mean scores of fussiness, gas, spit-up, crying compared with baseline measures was observed who received either Soy PHF within 1 day...

Exogenous melatonin can be helpful for treatment of some sleep disorders. However, immediate-release formulations are rapidly absorbed and cleared from the body making it difficult to provide coverage an entire period. Extended-release better mimic naturally occurring profile increase efficacy, but few studies have reported on their pharmacokinetics. To assess pharmacokinetics extended-release melatonin, we conducted a randomized, double-blind, crossover study (4 mg) compared in 18 healthy...
