EuroScience proESOF2020: New Generation Probiotics - Online Conference
Kluyveromyces marxianus fragilis: New Generation, Probiotic Lactic Yeast, Health Benefits and Industrial Prospects
The “probiotic ban” of EU Commission seems helpful to uncovering “new generation probiotics”, well controlled, based on substantial scientific data that support specific health benefits, but in the same time, natural and familiar to human microbiome; “gut friendly”probiotics, that do not significantly modify the architecture of the microbiome. What to recommend?
