5-strain probiotic blend improves functional gastrointestinal symptoms

19 May 2022 by

Treatment with a newly developed probiotic blend made up of five strains (Bl-04, Bi-07, HN019, NCFM, and Lpc-37) is safe and leads to better gastrointestinal (GI) well-being as early as day 14, with sustained improvements up to day 30, a recent study has shown. Few adverse events resulting in discontinuation have been reported.
