WATCH – Probiotics for prenatal health: 'There are great opportunities for product development' – DuPont

The growing body evidence supporting the benefits of probiotics for prenatal health are opening up “exciting and unique” opportunities for new product development, according to an industry expert from DuPont.

Dr Anders Henriksson was a keynote speaker at our recent Probiota Asia Summit in Singapore, where he highlighted the array of benefits probiotics can offer both mothers and babies.

We caught up with him on camera after his talk, where he shared his key takeaways, including recent findings spanning immunity, cognition and gestational diabetes.

The latter is a particular concern in Asia, where rates of gestational diabetes outsrip those seen in Europe and the US.

Take a look at the video for more, and we’ll be publishing a full article on Anders’ presentation in the coming weeks.
