Gabriele Gross – Vitafoods Insights Digestive Health webinar

At the Vitafoods Insights Webinar Digestive Health on the 5th of November, our Principal Scientist Health & Microbiology Gabriele Gross, will talk about innovative models to understand how food digestion and the gut microbiome impact digestive and brain health via the gut-brain axis.

Webinar: Digestive Health

As understanding of diet’s impact on health grows, its effects are seen beyond digestion, influencing overall well-being, including the gut-brain axis and brain function. Nearly 60% of US adults aim to eat foods that support gut health, reflecting rising consumer awareness. At the same time, research and technology are advancing nutraceuticals that benefit both the gut microbiome and overall health.

Join this Vitafoods Insights webinar on digestive health and:

• Dive into the realm of prebiotics, probiotics, and postbiotics, uncovering the most promising biotics from scientific and consumer awareness perspectives.
• Discover innovative product formulations and delivery systems that cater to consumer preferences and convenience.
• Explore how innovative approaches such as in silico and in vitro models help understand how food digestion and the gut microbiome may impact digestive and brain health via the gut-brain axis.
• Stay up to date with consumer trends and market opportunities within the digestive health sector.

The presentation of Gabriele will take place on the 5th of November from  11:25 to 11:40 CEST and concluding with a live Q&A session (11.45-12:30 CEST).
