A double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 494 children showed that supplementation of Lactobacillus reuteri Protectis significantly reduced episodes of diarrhoea. Lactobacillus reuteri Protectis was particularly effective in children with lower nutritional status. Another probiotic strain, which was also tested, was without effect.
Since 2008, BioGaia and Nestlé have collaborated in the field of infant nutrition products. The parties have now signed agreements to extend this collaboration. These agreements are of significant strategic value for BioGaia since they not only involve an extended close collaboration with Nestlé but also generate a greater financial freedom for BioGaia to further invest in its own brand, develop its own new products, research around new indications and increase the distribution of BioGaia-branded products.
