What does 2'-FL do in the body?
2'-FL is non-digestible and arrives in the colon intact, where it has been clinically shown in both adults and infants to selectively improve the microbiota. 2’-FL encourages the growth of Bifidobacteria and may help to increase the level of SCFA (short chain fatty acids).
Studies suggest that 2'-FL may have a wide range of benefits including support for the immune system and maintenance of the gut barrier.
Why is l-threonine included?
- L-threonine is an essential amino acid.
- It is an essential building block for the production of mucus, part of the body's defence system in the gut.
- It is an important glycosylation site.
