Dietary Supplementation Effects on Bowel Movement Frequency and Intestinal Biological Markers in Seniors Presenting Slowed Intestinal Transit

This randomized, double-blind, controlled clinical trial among healthy volunteers with infrequent bowel movements but not severe constipation evaluate the effects of a supplementation in \"symbiotic\" on intestinal transit of subjects with few bowel movements per week with a verum group treated with a dietary supplement composed of fructo-oligosaccharides - FOS: 4.95 gr / sachet and Bifidobacterium animalis lactis: VES002 (LMG P-28149): 5 billion / sachet and a placebo group treated with a comparative product hat looked strictly identical to the verum and contained only excipients (60% maltodextrin / 40% sucrose). The claim investigated corresponds to the section of the new EFSA (European Food Safety Authority) guidance of 2016 entitled \"Claims on maintenance of normal defecation\".
