From Gut Health to Athletic Performance
The Latest Biotics Innovations
The field of nutrition is experiencing a transformation, with advancements in pre-, post-, and probiotics targeting precise health benefits. Industry leaders like iprona are at the forefront of these developments, leveraging groundbreaking research to deliver innovative solutions.
“Our primary focus is on polyphenols as novel prebiotics, which not only support gut health but also offer a range of additional health benefits,” explains Dr. Stephan Plattner, Scientific Director at iprona Lana. Among these, the anthocyanins found in European black elderberries (Sambucus nigra) stand out.
Research indicates that these polyphenols can enhance the growth of beneficial microbiom bacteria like Bifidobacteria and Lactobacilli. “These findings pave the way for natural, scientifically-backed supplements that improve gut health and overall well-being,” Plattner adds.
Furthermore, iprona is exploring the potential advantages for athletes and active individuals. “The link between gut health and muscle performance — known as the gut-muscle axis — is a fascinating area. Through prebiotic ingredients like polyphenols, we aim to develop new ways to enhance physical performance and recovery.”
iprona remains committed to scientific excellence, planning randomized clinical trials to further investigate the mechanisms and benefits of polyphenols. This research highlights our dedication to creating innovative, natural health products that cater to a broad audience.
