Pre- and probiotics have reached the marketplace at an accelerated pace leaving many clinicians as well as consumers confused about their efficacy and safety. This session will emphasize clinical research and practice involving pre- and probiotics related to areas where evidence does or does not support use of these supplements. The science behind product claims and potential limitations will be discussed.
| Objective 1: | Define and identify a prebiotic and probiotic and relate their mutualistic roles in gastrointestinal homeostasis. |
| Objective 2: | Evaluate research studies utilizing prebiotics and probiotics for clinical efficacy. |
| Objective 3: | Discuss with patients and consumers the food and supplement products available in the marketplace which convey prebiotic and probiotic benefits, the science behind the product claims, and any potential limitations these products may have. |

I will not be able to attend FNCE this year as my organization is sending me to ASPEN in Feb. Would it be possible to obtain the slides, lecture information regarding this topic after the presentation in October?
Thanks,
