During the Nutricia Satellite Symposium at ESPGHAN, Friday May 11 2018, Nutricia hosted a breakfast satellite symposium highlighting the science behind our new concept combining prebiotics and postbiotics for healthy infants.

The title of the symposium was ‘Prebiotics and postbiotics: Next generation in infant nutrition bringing immune system through gut’, chaired by Prof. Yvan Vandenplas.

In this video of the presentation at ESPGHAN, Prof. Olivier Goulet, Professor of Pediatrics, Necker- Enfants Malades Hospital; University of Paris V–René Descartes, France, elaborates on ‘Bringing the past into the future: infant formulas with postbiotics’. He explains that based on the available insights, postbiotics in infant formula are safe and could favour a healthy and resilient gut and immune system in infants

Pre- and postbiotics can positively influence the immune system directly and indirectly via modulation of the gut microbiota, rebalancing the homeostasis of systemic and mucosal immune systems and creating the optimal conditions for the immune system to be fit.
