Under standing about the relationship between digestion and a wide array of health conditions is deepening.
April 6, 2023
By: Mike Montemarano
Digestive health issues can be a major disruption to daily life. According to a survey by the American Gastroenterological Association, 40% of Americans have stopped routine activities in the past year due to uncomfortable bowel symptoms, including exercising (19%), running errands (17%), and spending time with family and friends (16%). “From our perspective, the largest contributor to gut problems is the excessive amount of significantly processed foods we consume,” said Paul Altaffer, chief innovation officer at RFI Ingredients. “This, in addition to severe anxiety and other emotional disorders, contributes to a bad recipe for gut health.” A 2022 review of National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) data concluded that consumption of ultra-processed foods increased among all U.S. adults. Ultra-processed foods have increased from 53.5% to 57% of all calories consumed by the U.S. population between 2001 and 2018.1 “Digestive concerns are an early warning sign for a series of health issues; it all starts in the gut and consumers are increasingly aware of this,” said Len Monheit, executive director of the Global Prebiotic Association (GPA). He noted that a part of the rise in reported digestive health issues may be due to better diagnostics in general. Monheit pointed to a 2022 Ingredient Transparency Center survey that identified the top reasons consumers choose to use probiotics and prebiotics. Alongside digestive health, regularity, and bloating, many consumers were interested in using prebiotics for bone health, brain health and mental acuity, weight management, and athletic performance. Meanwhile, aside from digestive health, probiotics were commonly cited by users for immune support, inflammation, autoimmune conditions, cardiovascular health, and blood sugar management. Young people, and especially young women, are using digestive support products like probiotics, prebiotics, and digestive enzymes at record rates, said Nena Dockery, scientific affairs manager at Stratum Nutrition. “Interest in the gut-brain axis and the overall gut-body connection has been a strong influence.” COVID-19 exacerbated gut issues, leading to a heightened awareness, she added. “Compounding this effect were changes in eating habits, increased alcohol consumption, disrupted sleep, and weight gain, all of which are major factors contributing to digestive disorders,” Dockery said. The digestive health segment is broad and attracts a wide range of people with diverse health goals, noted Melanie Bush, vice president of science and research for Artemis International. “Products ranging from yogurt and prebiotics for the maintenance of overall gut wellness fill a different need than products that repopulate healthy probiotic bacteria after a course of antibiotics, or products that help combat chronic issues with diarrhea or constipation or other complaints.”
