In this month’s edition of Nutrition Asia we shine the spotlight on two firms – Australian brand Activated Probiotics and global supplier Chr Hansen – which are assessing the potential of probiotics to aid immunity, atopic conditions, and sleep.
“Whenever we are looking at probiotics, we are looking at the immune system, because the inherent nature of probiotics mechanism of action is going to be modulating immune function,” said Rebecca Edwards, head of education at Activated Probiotics.
The company currently has a number of probiotics which claim to stimulate or help enhance the immune system function, including Biome Breathe, Biome Daily, and Biome Daily Kids.
