A patent application (Publication Number: US20230405062A1) discloses a method for preparing a probiotic composition involving the pre-conditioning of a probiotic Lactobacillus reuteri strain by cultivating it in the presence of galacto-oligosaccharide (GOS) in a growth medium. The pre-conditioned strain is then harvested and combined with GOS to create the probiotic composition. The amount of GOS added during cultivation ranges from 0.2 wt % to 8 wt %, and during the preparation of the composition, it is added in an amount of at least 1 g, or between 2 to 12 g. The probiotic composition includes various strains of L. reuteri and can be in different forms such as powder, tablet, capsule, or emulsion, suitable for administration as a nutritional composition, pharmaceutical formulation, dietary supplement, functional food product, or functional beverage product.
Furthermore, the patent application describes the use of the probiotic composition for various health benefits, including improving mineral bio-accessibility, promoting a healthy microbiota, enhancing the survival of L. reuteri in the colon, increasing metabolic activity of gut microbiota, promoting bone health, and treating conditions like mineral deficiencies, digestive dysfunctions, dysbiosis, bone loss, infections, and promoting growth and development of bones or teeth in children. The methods involve administering the probiotic composition to individuals in need of such health benefits, with specific applications for treating iron deficiency anemia, gut infections, and promoting overall gut health. The composition can be particularly useful in preventing and managing a range of health conditions related to gut health, bone health, and overall well-being.
