Pilot Study: Tolerability of Feeding Different Doses of Bovine Milk Oligosaccharides for Modifying Gastrointestinal Function in Healthy Individuals
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Bovine Milk Oligosaccharide and Placebo Glucose Polymer for Healthy. Completed, enrolled 12 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to elucidate tolerability and effectiveness in consumption of the complex indigestible sugars from dairy products called bovine milk oligosaccharides (BMO) to enrich intestinal microflora toward beneficial populations.

Timeline
Interventions
The BMO powder will be isolated from whey streams by Hilmar Ingredients (Hilmar, California 95324). Hilmar Ingredients employs the same membrane filtration, and centrifugation processes used to purify whey protein in their commercial practice to extract and purify BMO from whey permeate. Furthermore, the same sterilization processes used on the equipment to purify whey products will be used to purify BMO. This method uses a novel high-throughput food-grade isolation protocol that leads to purification of specific BMOs with bifidogenic activity as prebiotic oligosaccharides that mimic the activities observed for Human Milk Oligosaccharides (HMO). This strategy of developing methods for their large scale fractionation allows us to obtain a final product that mimics the naturally beneficial oligosaccharides present in human milk.
