Galacto-oligosaccharides increase calcium absorption and gut bifidobacteria in young girls: a double blind crossover trial. Br J Nutr. 2013;110:1292–303. This study evaluated the dose response effect of GOS on calcium absorption and specific gut bacteria in healthy pubertal girls. The benefit of this fiber affirmed the benefit of nondigestible fibers on bone in a similar age group [26].

Soluble maize fibre affects short-term calcium absorption in adolescent boys and girls: a randomized controlled trial using dual stable isotopic tracers. Br J Nutr. 2014;112:446–56. This controlled feeding trial was unique in removing the confounding of a variable diet on changes in microbial communities. It was the first study to link changes in diet-induced microbiota with a functional outcome in healthy volunteers.

Fiber supplementation influences phylogenetic structure and functional capacity of the human intestinal microbiome: follow-up of a randomized controlled trial. Am J Clin Nutr. 2014. doi:10.3945/ajcn.114.092064. This paper represents a well-executed, appropriately controlled human intervention that adds metagenomics analysis to previously reported fiber-induced shifts in microbial communities. This revealed some unpredicted changes that greatly expanded an understanding of the role of the gut microbiome in human health, though not specifically relevant to bone.
