HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE HISTORY OF PROBIOTICS
The Global Voice of Probiotics®
Probiotic microbes come from a distinguished but rather unknown lineage of microbes. Their use evolved from accidental to deliberate harnessing of the
benefits and privileges of microbes in food and supplements for supporting human health. IPA is pleased to present this snapshot of some of the more notable
dates from ancient to modern day times. It's all about the microbes.

The Global Voice of
Probiotics®
Probiotics are unique food and dietary supplement ingredients. The World
Health Organization defines these beneficial bacteria as “live microorganisms
which, when administered in adequate amounts, confer a health benefit to
the host.” As live microorganisms, probiotics require special handling and
other considerations to ensure the safety, quality, and efficacy of finished
products.
