Clinical Trial Summary

An average reduction of colonic transit time:

28 hours at 17 Billion dose (p<0.05)
19 hours at 1.8 Billion dose (p<0.05)

For both groups, a significant reduction in the severity of both upper and lower GI symptoms such as:

Constipation (p<0.01)
Abdominal pain (p<0.01)
Irregular bowel movement (p<0.05)

In addition to Waller study, Dietary supplementation with B. Lactis HN019 in combination with other probiotics or prebiotics improved intestinal transit time.
