UP TO ONE IN FOUR infants experience colic, often manifesting in excessive crying and fussing. In a new study, children with colic consuming Chr. Hansen's BB-12? probiotic strain Bifidobacterium, have experienced less excessive crying and fussing, accompanied by increased sleep time. The mechanism by which Bifidobacterium, BB-12? exerts a beneficial effect on the study group is expected to be the same as in healthy infants. Bifidobacterium, BB-12?, the world's most documented Bifidobacterium, adds another scientific study to its growing list of publications. The newly published study Chen et al provides data that Bifidobacterium, BB-12? can help soothe excessively crying infants with colic. In addition, it highlights that the strain is beneficial across different demographics and genetic backgrounds. This is a highly important finding as the benefit of probiotic strains in diverse population groups and microbiota has often been discussed.
