Vitamin D and protein for muscle health
This article by Richie Kirwan, discusses the casual effect that vitamin D potentially has in increasing muscle mass. There is emerging evidence for the importance of vitamin D in musculoskeletal health. Therefore, ensuring adequate serum vitamin D levels is a realistic and easy strategy to improve muscle health. Vitamin D, combined with resistance exercise and adequate protein intake could help improve quality of life and reduce the risk of common, chronic diseases of ageing.

Examining guidelines and new evidence in oncology nutrition
Malnutrition, muscle loss, and cachexia are prevalent in cancer and remain key challenges in oncology today. These conditions are frequently underrecognised and undertreated and have devastating consequences for patients. Early nutrition screening/assessment and intervention are associated with improved patient outcomes.
Paediatric patients represent a particularly vulnerable group with specific nutritional requirements, but feeding difficulties are unfortunately a common occurrence. Up to 75% of critically ill children and 90% of chronically ill children may be malnourished or have suboptimal nutrition, which in turn can lead to impaired growth and development.

A Gut (Brain) Feeling about HMOs
This podcast provides an overview of the gut microbiome and its interactions with the gut-brain axis (GBA) — a bidirectional signaling pathway between the gastrointestinal tract and the central nervous system. Prof Cryan discusses several animal models of stress and learning that suggest roles for the gut microbiome and human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) in immunity, behaviour, and cognition. Preliminary intervention studies in humans are also discussed.
2’FL Human Milk Oligosaccharides
This infographic explains how 2’-fucosyllactose (2’-FL)—the most abundant HMO in 75-85% of mothers’ breast milk—interacts in the gut, immune system and brain. It also presents the important outcomes and benefits of 2’-FL, as discovered through clinical and preclinical research.
The establishment of a healthy infant microbiome & the role of human milk oligosaccharides
In this 30-minute podcast, Akshay Batra, MBBS, MD, MRCPCH, and Jane Schlezinger, RD, BSc (Hons), PG Cert. Allergy, will discuss the infant microbiome, including how it develops, why it's important for infant health, and how specifically human milk oligosaccharides impact gut health and beyond.
