Research Demonstrates Safety of 3-Fucosyllactose (3-FL) as a Nutritional Ingredient in Food and Dietary Supplements

Leave a comment


We continue to innovate in Early Life Nutrition by providing ingredients such as HMOs and probiotics to support good nutrition in the First 1000 Days.


WILMINGTON, Del. (PRWEB)

Continuing its leading research on human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs), DuPont Nutrition & Biosciences (DuPont) recently published the results of its safety assessment on the biotechnologically produced 3-Fucolsyllactose (3-FL) HMO.

3-FL is one of over 130 HMOs currently identified in human milk. These complex carbohydrates are indigestible and therefore function as a prebiotic by promoting early microbial colonization of the gut. This, in turn, provides benefits related to immunity, digestion and potentially cognitive health – benefits that begin in infancy but have a lifelong impact on human health.

This new safety study supports past research which indicated that commercially produced HMOs can mimic some of the health-promoting effects of the HMOs present in human milk. DuPont has been a pioneer in the field of HMOs and launched 2’-fucosyllactose (2’-FL) in 2018 under the name CARE4U™ for infant nutrition and dietary supplements. The important results of this current study help DuPont continue to build the framework for the upcoming launch of CARE4U™ 3-FL.

The Results

To investigate safety of this new ingredient for early life nutrition, 3-FL was produced by fermentation and then assessed for acute oral toxicity, in vitro and in vivo of genetic toxicity, and included a sub chronic rodent feeding study. These are standardized testing protocols for all new ingredients.

The results showed that subchronic dietary exposure of rats to 3-FL did not produce any statistical or biologically relevant differences in growth, food intake or efficiency, clinical observations, or clinical or anatomic pathology changes. The weight of evidence from these studies support the safe use of 3-FL produced using biotechnology as a nutritional ingredient in foods and dietary supplements.

“This is an important milestone for the launch of Care4U™ 3-FL, the next HMO from DuPont. A robust safety assessment has been completed for 3-FL demonstrating the safe use as a nutritional ingredient in foods,” stated Ratna Mukherjea, Ph.D., Technical Fellow and Global R&D Leader for Human Milk Oligosaccharides. “We continue to innovate in Early Life Nutrition by providing ingredients such as HMOs and probiotics to support good nutrition in the First 1000 Days.”

MYE Technologies to Introduce New BodyScript™ Ascend Body Composition Analyzer at IHRSA 2020

Leave a comment



VALENCIA, Calif. (PRWEB)

The BodyScript™ Ascend body composition analyzer featuring the accuracy of advanced near-infrared technology will be introduced at IHRSA booth #2327 in San Diego March 19-20, 2020, announced Tony Garcia, MYE Technologies president and CEO.

The BodyScript Ascend analyzer uses harmless near-infrared technology to provide significantly greater accuracy than popular bioelectrical impedance (BIA) devices. BodyScript gold standard accuracy equals hydrostatic and DEXA (dual energy x-ray absorptiometry) non-invasive bone mineral density testing. Subjects stand on the BodyScript platform. A light wand is applied to the bicep and within 10 seconds they receive a report with body fat percentage, weight of body fat, three-fat type analysis, bone mass, muscle mass, lean body mass, body mass index (BMI), metabolic rate (BMR), and total water.

“The BodyScript Ascend body composition analyzer provides a greater level of accuracy for fitness club members and trainers, weight loss clinicians and patrons,” stated Garcia. “In just ten seconds, subjects receive an accurate set of measurements to establish baselines and tracking. The BodyScript analyzer provides an essential educational tool for engagement and a clear path for health and fitness progress.”

Unlike bioelectrical impedance devices, BodyScript users receive accurate test results anytime without removing shoes or clothing and without exercise, mealtime or beverage restrictions. Using patented technology, body measurement results are encoded in the digital QR code displayed on the BodyScript touch screen. Users point their phone to instantly upload and track results with the free BodyScript Mobile App. No Bluetooth connectivity or network connections are required. Results may also be printed locally and test data may be easily transferred to authorized health networks. BodyScript mobile app scanning and tracking features can be integrated into facility business mobile apps.

99 Walks That Will Change Your Life

Leave a comment


Together, we can help build community, improve women’s wellbeing and help combat loneliness. All by lacing up our sneakers and heading out the door.


SAG HARBOR, N.Y. (PRWEB)

“If there was one thing you could do to help you lose weight, think better, be happier and live longer, would you do it?” asks ​Joyce Shulman​. Shulman is the leader of ​99 Walks​, a​ monthly walking challenge app and community that inspires its members to get up, get moving, and crush their goals.

In her debut book, “​Walk Your Way to Better​,” Shulman shares 99 stories, pieces of research and thought starters. Then, she encourages readers to lace up their sneakers and head out the door to process the things that are standing in their way and, through this journey, transform their lives.

Shulman founded 99 Walks to encourage women to get healthier and happier through the simple act of walking together. Her mission? Nothing short of getting 1 million women walking, to encourage fitness and wellness and help combat the loneliness epidemic.

Shulman, who also co-founded ​Macaroni Kid​, shared an in-house study of 2,300 women that revealed a startling fact: 73% of women experience loneliness. And according to a study reported by UC Berkeley, 1 in 4 Americans feel like they don’t have a single close friend in the world.

Shulman was encouraged to write her book because of this study, “Women are lonely. And the solution is simple, accessible, magical. Women who regularly walk with friends report that they are two-and-a-half times less likely to often feel lonely. 2.5 times.”

Each section of the book provides a thought-starter, a piece of information, a story, or research that encourages readers to head out the door, contemplate the things that are standing in their way and reap the benefits of walking for their body, mind and mood.

Wellness practitioners from across the nation are applauding Shulman’s message including Dr. Taz Bhatia, MD., board-certified integrative medicine physician, wellness expert, and author of the “Superwoman RX.” “In my practice, I am passionate about the profound connection and synergy between women and children’s health and their ultimate impact on the health of the entire family,” said Bhatia. “Walk Your Way to Better and author Joyce Shulman, whom I have had the personal pleasure of interviewing on my podcast Super Women Wellness, highlight the superpower of walking for women and the ultimate effect such a simple activity has on global health. Thank you, Joyce, for walking us, especially women, towards wellbeing.”

Walk Your Way to Better is available on ​Amazon​ (available in paperback and via kindle) and join the ​99 Walks​ because, as Shulman writes, “Together, we can help build community, improve women’s wellbeing and help combat loneliness. All by lacing up our sneakers and heading out the door.”

Available to buy on​ Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1734257601?pf_rd_p=ab873d20-a0ca-439b-ac45-cd78f07a84d8&pf_rd_r=HK011S9ACNZR2GPJ88TN.

Leave a comment


Unitek College is one of the nation’s reputable health care and nursing colleges. Taught by experienced professionals, Unitek programs teach the clinical technique and theory used in the field today.

Aspiring nurses in Reno will have the opportunity to earn their BSN degree or PN diploma at Unitek.


RENO, Nev. (PRWEB)

At the start of 2020, Unitek College added an eighth campus to their roster in Reno, Nevada. In late February, Unitek received nursing-board approval to offer the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) and Practical Nursing (PN) programs to the Reno community.

Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) can enroll in the PN to RN pathway at Unitek. This would allow LPNs who have completed certain General Education courses to apply for Advanced Placement status and potentially skip the first three semesters.

“Our simulation center contains high-fidelity simulators and sim-view technology, including a Medical Surgical Nursing Intensive Care Unit (ICU),” said Marilyn Lim-Carreon, the Reno Campus Director. “It provides nursing students with two furnished patient rooms: one for Pediatrics with infant and child simulators, and another that includes a birthing simulator, a bassinet for newborns, and a delivery bed. Our goal is to emulate actual hospital rooms in a protected environment.”

Aspiring nurses in Reno will have the opportunity to earn their BSN degree or PN diploma at Unitek. They can benefit from the use of various skills labs and collaboration rooms. Other benefits include a dedicated nursing faculty, NCLEX test preparation services, and employment support. Through these programs, students will train to work in a variety of health care settings, such as: nursing and residential care facilities; hospitals at the state, local, and private level; offices of physicians; and home health care services.

“We are thrilled to offer a pathway for Nevada LPNs to become RNs at our Reno Campus,” said Janis Paulson, Chief Executive Officer at Unitek College. “This is a big step forward for Unitek as we continue to educate the next generation of nurses.”

Unitek College is one of the nation’s reputable health care and nursing colleges. Taught by experienced professionals, Unitek programs teach the clinical technique and theory used in the field today. Equipped with a multitude of sought-after skills, Unitek graduates are prepared to excel in many of the fastest-growing careers in health care and nursing.
