GPA has also introduced a Professional Membership level open to researchers and academics, a level also available to individuals whose companies are perhaps too broad in their product sets to justify a full corporate membership, yet who want to engage and participate in the Association. Students may also join at this level.

"Connecting with the scientific community is a huge priority. We saw a growing need for a membership level for individuals who want to engage with the prebiotic community," stated Monheit.

A prebiotic is a nutritional product or ingredient selected to be utilized in the microbiome producing health benefits. Prebiotics play an important role in the human microbiome: their role is to support & feed, increase & produce and balance & optimize.
