Personalized dietary fiber intake

Recruitment for this study has ended.

Dietary fibers are known for their health benefits- improving the digestive process, lowering blood glucose and lipids, providing a long-lasting feeling of satiety, and preventing cancer.  However, not all fibers are created equal! Each person's gut bacteria are able to break down different fiber combinations, while allowing our body to use them. Based on our groundbreaking discovery of personalized nutrition, we aim to develop ways to individually tailor each person's dietary fiber intake to their individual gut bacteria profile, thereby optimizing their health benefits.
