New meta-analysis confirms effectiveness of BioGaia’s probiotic for infant colic

Prior to the new review four meta-analyses, evaluating different probiotics as well as non-probiotic treatments, have come to the same conclusion; that L. reuteri Protectis is effective in colic, especially in breastfed and mixed fed infants. In the new, fifth review, with 6 studies on L. reuteri Protectis included, the proof was further strengthened.

”The new meta-analysis once again confirms our position as the number one treatment for infants with colic. Today health care professionals around the world can be totally reassured that they are suggesting an effective treatment when recommending BioGaia ProTectis drops to their patients”, says Peter Rothschild, President, BioGaia.

The systematic review and meta-analysis was published online by researchers Tracey Harb and colleagues at University of Queensland, Australia, in Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition 14 December 2015.
