Early life with

Morinaga Milk's Probiotics

Morinaga Milk's HRB probiotics are clinically proven at promoting infant health. 

The first 1,000 days of life represent a window of opportunity for shaping a healthy gastrointestinal tract and immune system, affecting lifelong health. During this critical period, the infant’s gut microbiota is developing along with its immune system. Bifidobacterium is one of the most dominant bacterial genus present in the healthy gut. Colonization with bifidobacteria is believed to play pivotal roles in the maturation of the immune, digestive, and metabolic systems, which, in turn, protect against susceptibility to various diseases later in life.

Backed with clinical studies, Morinaga Milk's HRB Probiotics also show great promise at improving gastrointestinal health, protecting against infection, and preventing allergic disorders in children.

Supplementation of Morinaga Milk's HRB probiotics and paraprobiotic strains are clinically effective at promoting various health aspects in adults.

Healthy Aging

People worldwide are living longer. Life expectancy continues to increase globally but maintaining health in older age may not be easy. It depends on the homeostatic function of the body system and its correct interaction with gut microbiota. Aging has a significant effect on the gut microbiota composition and the immune response in the elderly.
