BioGaia Launches A New Probiotic Supplement, BioGaia® Gastrus® PURE ACTION BioGaia announced launch BioGaia® Gastrus® PURE ACTION, a clean ingredient, double-strength, FODMAP-friendly probiotic designed to support individuals with sensitive stomachs. This latest addition to BioGaia's product portfolio in adult gut health expands access to specialized advanced, evidence-based solutions for improved digestive health and quality of life. BioGaia® Gastrus® PURE ACTION is formulated with the proprietary, patented probiotic strains L. reuteri DSM 17938 and L. reuteri ATCC PTA 6475, carefully selected for their clinically proven efficacy in managing digestive issues and enhancing gastrointestinal health. The product's twice-daily dosing supports individuals with occasional gut discomfort in regaining control over their digestive health. Vegan capsule and free from sweeteners, lactose, and gluten, BioGaia® Gastrus® PURE ACTION is certified as FODMAP-friendly and designed for sensitive stomachs. These are a group of short-chain carbohydrates and sugar alcohols found in many common foods. They are poorly absorbed in the small intestine, leading to fermentation by gut bacteria, which can cause symptoms like bloating, gas, and diarrhea, especially in people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or other digestive sensitivities. A low-FODMAP diet is often recommended by healthcare professionals to manage symptoms of IBS and other functional gastrointestinal disorders. Product availability: Finland is the first country to launch BioGaia® Gastrus® PURE ACTION, with more country launches to follow. In Finland, the product is available in Pharmacies and main online Pharmacies. Supported by clinical research: The product has been tested in clinical trials and proven to be safe and effective in relieving symptoms like abdominal pain, gas, and bloating. Probiotics in this blend are proven to withstand the harsh conditions of digestive system, ensuring they reach gut alive. The efficacy of BioGaia® Gastrus® PURE ACTION's ingredients was recently evaluated in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial involving 140 adults aged 18-65, diagnosed with IBS based on Rome IV criteria. Participants who used the product demonstrated: Significant reduction in IBS symptoms: A notable improvement in the GSRS-IBS score from week 6 onward, with key symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating, and gas showing marked relief. Enhanced Quality of Life: Participants using BioGaia® Gastrus® PURE ACTION reported significantly higher Quality of Life (QoL-IBS) scores compared to those on the placebo. Reduced inflammation: While not a defining feature of IBS, the study showed that Gastrus reduced low-grade gut inflammation. A second study on the same strain combination suggested it also lowered systemic low-grade inflammation. Reported Earnings • Oct 22

BioGaia's probiotic Protectis increases SARS-CoV-2 antibody response in adults A randomised, triple-blinded, placebo-controlled study with BioGaia's probiotic Protectis was shown to increase SARS-CoV-2 antibody titres in healthy volunteers when 28 days or more had elapsed from vaccination. It suggests that probiotic supplementation may enhance the long-term protection against breakthrough infections. The study included 159 healthy adults without prior SARS-CoV-2 infection or COVID-19 vaccination. The participants consumed either BioGaia Protectis (Limosilactobacillus reuteri DSM 17938) + 10 microgram vitamin D3, or a placebo product that contained only vitamin D3 for 6 months. During the intervention period 12 subjects were infected, and 17 were fully vaccinated and sampled 28 days or more postvaccination. The purpose of the study was to investigate the effect of probiotic supplementation of BioGaia Protectis on SARS-CoV-2 specific antibody responses after natural infection or vaccination. Even though the primary outcome, based on infected subjects, failed to reach a statistically significant difference between the intervention groups, vaccinated individuals who consumed BioGaia Protectis showed significantly increased IgA antibody levels when 28 days or more had elapsed from vaccination. The study was conducted at the Nutrition-Gut-Brain Interactions Research Centre, Örebro University, Sweden. The results suggest that BioGaia Protectis may improve long-term protection against breakthrough infections after vaccination. The same type of antibodies that are increased by probiotics in this study have previously been shown to be protective against breakthrough infections. Board Change • May 15

BioGaia's Probiotic Reduces Inflammation in Patients with Diverticulitis A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study with BioGaia's probiotic strain Limosilactobacillus reuteri ATCC PTA 4659 was shown to reduce inflammation significantly more than placebo in patients with acute uncomplicated diverticulitis. Moreover, as hospitalization time was shorter in the probiotic group, the probiotic supplementation also had economic benefits. The study included 119 patients, 49 males and 70 females, diagnosed with acute uncomplicated diverticulitis. Mean age was 65 years. All patients were given fluids and bowel rest for 48 hours. Half of the group were additionally supplemented by Limosilactobacillus reuteri ATCC PTA 4659 for 10 days, while the other half were given a placebo. BioGaia's probiotic strain Limosilactobacillus reuteri ATCC PTA 4659 has in experimental models shown strong anti-inflammatory properties, indicating potential positive effects in inflammatory conditions of the intestine. The now published study is the first randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study using this anti-inflammatory strain for acute uncomplicated diverticulitis without any antibiotic therapy. It is common, especially after the age of 40, to have small, bulging pouches in the lining of the digestive tract. The condition known as diverticulitis occurs when one or more of these pouches become inflamed or infected, something that can cause severe abdominal pain, but also fever, nausea, and changes in bowel habits.

Biogaia Announces L. reuteri Protectis Reduces Pain in Children with Functional Abdominal Pain In a newly published systematic review and meta-analysis BioGaia AB (publ)'s L.reuteri Protectis (DSM 17938) was the only probiotic showing reduced pain intensity as well as an increased number of pain free days compared to placebo, in children with functional abdominal pain (FAP). Even if functional abdominal pain is a common gastrointestinal disorder, there are still no adequate treatment options available. The aim of the systematic review and meta-analysis was therefore to evaluate strain-specific probiotic effects on functional abdominal pain in children. The meta-analysis included nine studies, of which six were conducted with L. reuteri DSM 17938 and three with L. rhamnosus GG (LGG). The primary outcome, number of children with no symptoms at end of intervention, was however not reached.
