Abstract:
The present invention relates to non-replicating probiotic micro-organisms and their health benefits. For example, the present invention relates to compositions comprising non-replicating probiotic micro-organisms for use in the treatment of prevention of upper respiratory tract infections and/or their symptoms. Embodiments of the present invention can help parents to protect their children from such upper respiratory tract infections.
Abstract:
Compositions include probiotic microorganisms that were rendered non-replicating by extrusion. Such compositions may be used to treat or prevent disorders that are related to a compromised immune system.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to the field of infant cereals. In particular, the present invention relates to the field of infant cereals that can be used to strengthen the immune system of the infant and/or that can be used to treat or prevent inflammatory disorders. For example these benefits can be provided by probiotic micro-organisms. An embodiment of the present invention relates to an infant cereal comprising non-replicating probiotic-micro-organisms, for example bioactive heat treated probiotic micro-organisms.
Abstract:
The present invention generally relates to the field of preventing and/or treating inflammatory and infectious disorders, in particular by boosting the endogenous antimicrobial defences. One embodiment of the present invention is the use of B. longum NCC2705 (deposit number CNCM 1-2618) for use in the treatment or prevention of disorders related to the immune system including infections.
Abstract:
Heat treated Bifidobacterium lactis NCC 2818 reduces the symptoms of allergies in different groups of patients, such as allergies originating from food allergens in young children, or infants, and food, respiratory and cutaneous allergens in children, adults and household pets. The heat treated Bifidobacterium lactis NCC 2818 may be administered alone or in a composition. A reduction of allergy symptoms has been measured, in vivo, in a mouse allergy model.
Abstract:
The present invention generally relates to the field of pro biotic micro-organisms, in particular to the field of non-replicating probiotic micro-organisms. Embodiments of the present invention relate to compositions comprising probiotic microorganisms that were rendered non-replicating by extrusion. Such compositions may be used to treat or prevent disorders that are related to a compromised immune system.
