Konjac Oligosaccharides Promote Calcium Absorption and Bone Health in Growing Mice

Key Points

• The primary aim is to evaluate the effect of konjac oligosaccharides on calcium absorption and bone health during key growth phases.
• Conducted an animal study using growing mice
• Administered konjac oligosaccharides alongside a low-calcium diet
• Measured calcium absorption and bone health indicators
• Significant increase in calcium absorption in mice fed konjac oligosaccharides
• Improvement in key bone health markers compared to control
• Suggests positive impact on bone mass accumulation in growing periods
