Chr. Hansen Develops Probiotic Product That Reduces The Impact Of Diarrhea

Danish food ingredients company Chr. Hansen says it may have a solution to the global health problem diarrhea. It has developed a probiotic formula that combines its proprietary probiotic strain LGG with Oral Rehydration Solutions (ORS), which are solutions of salts and sugar. According to the company, the combination shortens the duration of diarrhea, prevents dehydration, and provides support to restore the intestinal flora. The “all-in-one solution” consists of one combined stick pack. The product is backed by good clinical documentation and stability data: 13 clinical studies have documented the effect of LGG + ORS on the duration of diarrhea, the company says.
