A dietary approach to improving gut health has become an important goal given the increasing prevalence of gastrointestinal disorders. Litesse® polydextrose from Danisco Sweeteners is a glucose polymer that is designed to be resistant to human digestive enzymes. It passes into the colon where it acts as a prebiotic fiber, selectively stimulating desirable bacteria such as Bifidobacteria and reducing putrefactive bacteria by competition. Recent research has shown that Litesse is fermented slowly, mediating a protective effect throughout the colon.
