Overview

Randomised controlled trial finds non-inferior growth in infants fed with probiotics, indicating their safety and tolerance.

Key Points

  • Weight gain in infants fed probiotics was non-inferior compared to those without, showcasing effective growth across groups.
  • Mean weight gain for L. reuteri was −0.378 g/day, while B. lactis was −1.724 g/day, both under the non-inferiority margin.
  • The study involved 256 infants with no adverse events reported, ensuring both probiotic formulas were well-tolerated.
  • Fecal lactobacilli counts significantly increased with L. reuteri, suggesting enhanced digestive health in probiotic-fed infants.
