ROME, Italy – September 22, 2026 –<\/strong> German nutrition brand inne presented preclinical research examining calcium supplementation combined with Kidtal®, a proprietary bamboo-derived ingredient, at the 8th Euro-Global Conference on Food Science and Technology (FAT 2026), held Sept. 14–16 in Rome.<\/p>\n

Dr. Emily Zhou, Head of R&D for Asia Pacific at inne, delivered an oral presentation examining the effects of calcium supplementation combined with Kidtal® on longitudinal bone growth in a calcium-deficient adolescent rat model.<\/p>\n

The presentation, titled “Study on Compound Functional Food with Bamboo Shoot Extract for Promoting Bone Growth and Development in Children,” examined findings involving bone length, bone microstructure, growth plate development, insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), and calcium absorption.<\/p>\n

The underlying study was published in the peer-reviewed journal Nutrients in June 2025 under the title “Calcium Supplement Combined with Dietary Supplement Kidtal Can Promote Longitudinal Growth of Long Bone in Calcium-Deficient Adolescent Rats.”<\/p>\n

The research evaluated the effects of calcium supplementation combined with Kidtal® in a calcium-deficient adolescent rat model. Researchers assessed several measures associated with bone development, including longitudinal bone growth, bone microstructure, growth plate characteristics, IGF-1 and calcium absorption.<\/p>\n

The findings remain preclinical and should not be interpreted as evidence of growth-related benefits in children or other human populations. Results observed in animal models do not by themselves establish efficacy or health outcomes in humans. Further clinical research is required to evaluate whether the findings can be replicated in human populations.<\/p>\n

“Children’s growth is influenced by multiple biological, nutritional and environmental factors, which makes careful, multidisciplinary research essential,” said Zhou. “Presenting this work in Rome gave us an opportunity to exchange perspectives with researchers from different scientific backgrounds. These discussions will help inform our future research, including studies that consider the dietary patterns and nutritional needs of children in different regions.”<\/p>\n

The presentation formed part of inne’s broader research program in children’s nutrition and its ongoing investigation of nutritional ingredients through preclinical and clinical research. The company said the discussions at FAT 2026 will contribute to future research planning involving Kidtal®.<\/p>\n

Inne said its research activities extend across different markets and include consideration of local dietary patterns, lifestyles and population characteristics. The company’s R&D network spans Germany, China and the United States, supporting research into nutritional solutions for different stages of life.<\/p>\n

Future research on Kidtal® is expected to include clinical investigations using a broader range of measures. According to inne, these studies will help provide additional information about the ingredient and its potential effects in human populations.<\/p>\n

The company emphasized that clinical evidence is necessary to assess whether observations from preclinical research translate to humans. The planned research is intended to build on the existing findings while providing additional data through human studies.<\/p>\n

The FAT 2026 presentation follows the publication of the Nutrients study and provides an opportunity to discuss the research with professionals from food science and technology and related scientific fields.<\/p>\n

Inne said continued research will focus on developing evidence around nutritional ingredients and their potential applications while taking into account differences in dietary and population characteristics across regions.<\/p>\n
