Bimuno®

Overview

Bimuno® is a targeted prebiotic based on a special blend of galactooligosaccharides (GOS) produced through a proprietary process. It supports the nourishment and growth of beneficial bacteria in the gut (probiotics).

As an indigestible fiber, it travels through the upper gastrointestinal tract to the large intestine, where it is utilized by beneficial bacteria.

With more than 125 scientific publications and over 20 clinical trials, its functionality has been documented in cognitive health, immune support and gastrointestinal health. It is suitable for all age groups, from infants to the elderly.

Applications

Added to your products as an ingredient, Bimuno® prebiotic offers an effective way to increase their value and functionality. Thanks to its high stability, it is suitable for a very wide range of products and applications.

It can be added to recipes and formulations in powder and syrup formats.

It is used in prebiotic yogurts, protein powders, prebiotic cereals, and in foods and food supplements.

Key features

Bimuno® delivers a powerful bifidogenic effect with just 1.37 g per day, the lowest dose among prebiotics, and increases levels of beneficial bifidobacteria in as little as 7 days.

It is manufactured with a natural β-galactosidase enzyme derived from a unique Bifidobacterium bifidum strain. Unlike the β 1→4 and β 1→6 linkages typical of commercial GOS products, it primarily features β 1→3 linkages; this difference affects how bacteria metabolize these carbohydrates.

It features complex, branched polysaccharide structures similar to specific human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs). 48% of its GOS-trisaccharides match the galactosyllactoses (GL) in human milk.

It works by selectively increasing beneficial bifidobacteria, which results in the formation of important metabolites such as short-chain fatty acids and increased fecal bulk for gastrointestinal health.

It modulates the immune system; it has been reported to reduce systemic, gut and neuroinflammation and to show benefits in the elderly, overweight individuals and asthmatics.

Improvements in anxiety, stress, cognitive function, behavior (including social skills in children with autism) and overall quality of life have been reported.

It is rigorously tested for purity and potency; in clinical trials it has been well tolerated and has shown a favorable safety profile supported by extensive safety data.
