Global Prebiotic Association to Host Mechanisms and Immunity Workshop on June 10th

SPRING, Texas, June 8, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The Global Prebiotic Association (GPA) announced today that it is hosting a free educational virtual workshop on Thursday, June 10, 2021 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. EDT to cover the latest science on prebiotic mechanisms and then a dive into immunity. Multiple studies have shown that alterations to our gut microbiome environment can have a dramatic impact on health and drive significant changes in immune functioning, and prebiotics are emerging as key players in this health maintenance strategy. This three-part interactive workshop focuses on helping to increase understanding of mechanisms for prebiotics, and in particular looking at the science linking prebiotics to immunity, before wrapping up with some practical applications and case studies of how to translate new science on prebiotic mechanisms into prebiotic product development.

"We are committed to education in this quickly evolving space. This workshop builds on GPA's recent series of webinars and events," said Len Monheit, Executive Director, Global Prebiotic Association. "We've brought together an incredible group of speakers to really dive into topics of critical importance in both gut health but also its contribution to broader overall health."
