Glanbia Nutritionals to present at Functional Dairy Conference, 28th-30th October 2008
23/10/2008
Glanbia Nutritionals will be presenting at the Functional Dairy Product Innovation Conference which is taking place in Amsterdam on the 28-30th October. Organised by FI Europe, this event will focus on how companies can drive market expansion in functional dairy through functional and clean label product development. Sorcha Tobin, International Marketing Manager Glanbia Nutritionals EMEA will be assessing the technical successes and challenges of formulating dairy weight management products. Glanbia’s weight management ingredient, Prolibra®, Sorcha will examine the role of Glycaemic Index and proteins in sustainable healthy body composition maintenance A recent human clinical trial shows that Prolibra® weight management solution from Glanbia Nutritionals considerably reduces postprandial glycemia in a dose dependant manner and resulted in a lower glycemic index (GI). Consuming foods with a low GI is one dietary approach for achieving healthy weight loss and may aid weight loss through the control of appetite, the delay of hunger, and the reduction of insulin levels and insulin resistance. The research, conducted by Glycemic Index Laboratories for Glanbia Nutritionals, has implications for companies looking to introduce healthful weight-management products that feature science-based GI reduction claims.
Sorcha will also review clinical research in the area of fat to lean ration and how positive changes in body composition contribute to sustained weight loss and are predictive of long term well-being.
