Winner: Bifidobacterium breve M-16V by Morinaga Milk Industry
M-16V has been incorporated as a functional probiotic ingredient in various products such as nutritional supplements and infant formula for promoting infant health.
Supplementation with M-16V is specifically effective at protecting the vulnerable premature infants against the development of the devastating necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) and sepsis and alleviating allergic
disorders in infants.
It has been demonstrated to promote healthy gut microbial colonisation and
maturation to support healthy growth and to shape a healthy gastrointestinal and immune system.
