Russian scientific congress backs role of probiotics

About 40 Russian scientists have backed the ability of probiotics to help maintain ‘beneficial microbiota’ and help prevent gastrointestinal disturbances, after meeting in Moscow in April.

The Ferrosan-sponsored congress scanned recent probiotic scientific literature and concluded the bacteria could improve the health of pre-term infants by strengthening immune systems.

Ferrosan is a Danish supplements company that has probiotic supplements brands called Idoform and Bifiform and which was purchased by Pfizer for an undisclosed sum in February.
