  • How Endurance Running Orchestrates Gut Microbial Diversity and Energy Metabolism 

    Endurance running, celebrated globally on 7 June as Running Day, exemplifies a unique physiological stress that reverberates from skeletal muscle to the lumen of the gastrointestinal tract. The repetitive mechanical loading of distance running, coupled with sustained cardiorespiratory demand, elicits systemic adaptations that extend well beyond cardiovascular and musculoskeletal domains.  Emerging research demonstrates that these…

  • The Milk Microbiome Nexus: How Diverse Dairy Sources Shape Human Gut Health 

    As the world celebrated World Milk Day on 1st of June this month, scientific discourse turns toward milk’s evolving role beyond nutrition – as a modulator of gut microbiota and a potential cornerstone of precision nutrition.   While milk has traditionally been consumed for its macro- and micronutrient content, recent evidence suggests it also functions as…

  • Mimicking Mother’s Milk: The Science Behind Modern Infant Formula 

    In situations where breastfeeding is not possible or breast milk supply is insufficient—especially for preterm infants—infant formula is the most suitable alternative to ensure proper nutrition. Today’s formulas are carefully developed to closely resemble the nutritional composition of human milk, supporting healthy growth, immune function, and organ development.  It’s also important to recognize that infant…
