Nutritional compositions and methods of increasing endogenous production of beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate in a subject are provided. The methods include administering a nutritional composition comprising a prebiotic to a subject. The prebiotic may include one or more of short chain fructooligosaccharides, long chain fructooligosaccharides, galactooligosaccharides, inulins, xylooligosaccharides, and resistant starches or may be a human milk oligosaccharide, optionally selected from 6'-sialyllactose (6'SL), lacto-N-neotetraose (LNnT), 3'- fucosyllactose (3'FL), and 3'-sialyllactose (3'SL), and 2'-fucosyllactose (2'FL). |
