Sweden’s probiotics firm Probi continues its collaborative mood by striking an agreement with an Australian-based university to pursue further insights into how probiotics promote bone health.
The agreement with Melbourne-based La Trobe University reiterates Probi’s efforts into what influences bone strength, particularly in later years and where the gut microbiome fits into bone metabolism, microarchitecture and density.
“Recent scientific evidence has consistently highlighted the important role of the gut microbiome on bone health,” explains research group leader Dr George Moschonis at La Trobe University,
“Considering these breakthrough discoveries, we are excited to contribute our strengths into further extending the current knowledge and produce additional high-quality research evidence that will shed more light on the effectiveness of probiotics in the reduction of bone loss,” adds Dr Moschonis, an Associate Professor at the univ
Sweden’s probiotics firm Probi have revealed details of a new collaboration with Perrigo in a pact looking to launch a series of probiotic concepts for digestive and immune health within the European region.

“We see the collaboration between Probi and Perrigo as an important step in our commercial efforts in offering clinically documented probiotic products to European consumers in partnership with successful consumer healthcare companies,” says Tom Rönnlund, CEO at Probi.
