Humiome® B2 with Microbiome Targeted Technology™ (MTT™) offers patented prebiotic-like benefits for the gut microbiome. It enhances gut health, immunity, mental well-being, and metabolic health. Unlike typical solutions, it releases ~90% of its vitamin B2 in the lower intestine and colon, supporting a nourished gut environment. This promotes bacterial metabolism, resilience, and shields against oxidative stress.

Infant colic affects one in five infants during the first few months of life and is characterized by inconsolable crying with no obvious cause. Despite the benign nature of the condition, it is a significant cause of maternal anxiety and depression. dsm-firmenich was involved in a study to understand the impact probiotics could have on reducing colic in exclusively breastfed infants.
dsm-firmenich expands its probiotic product portfolio through its acquisition of BioCare Copenhagen. Probiotics are a growing market segment in nutritional ingredients. dsm-firmenich already has a strong position in gut health solutions with its Culturelle® product, the number-one-selling probiotic dietary supplement.
