Technical Details & Test Data
- Mechanism of Action
Bifidobacterium infantis is so-named because it is a commonly found species of bifidobacteria in the infant gut. Research on this species has shown it has abundant gene clusters for utilizing human milk oligosaccharides, which may contribute to its effective colonization in low-birth-weight infants.
Safety & Health
- Safety
Safety is of the utmost importance in products intended for medically fragile populations such as low-birth-weight infants. Bifidobacterium infantis occurs naturally in the human gut and is associated with good health. The safety of Morinaga M-63 has been confirmed by oral toxicity tests, analysis of antibiotic resistance, genomic analysis and clinical studies, which found no adverse effects in low-birth-weight infants.
