PPM Africa: UPs tour in Senegal and Abidjan

The PPM teams in Senegal organized in June two PUS (Post University Studies) in regions far from the capital to present some of our products to pharmacists and health personnel. They went to Tambacounda, the largest city in eastern Senegal, of which it is the administrative capital, and to Ziguinchor, the historic capital of Casamance in the south of the country, located respectively 452 km to 480 km from Dakar.

As was the case later during another PUS in Abidjan, the Ivorian capital, there was special mention of KEM Probiotics, an innovative product created in Cambodia by PPM Laboratories and launched on the African market in 2017. This natural health supplement was designed from the totum of Morinda Citrifolia, a shrub used for centuries in traditional Indian pharmacopoeia whose fruit juice is known to help improve the body’s natural defenses, general tone and vitality, sleep and general mood. It also participates in the fight against cellular aging, pain and inflammation.

Thanks to the original and unique manufacturing process of KEM Probiotics, the juice of the Morinda Citrifolia, from a stock solution, will ferment naturally in the open air in the province of Kampot in Cambodia and be enriched with natural and living probiotics. This process allows KEM Probiotics to contain more than 50 different probiotics which act in particular to correct imbalances in the gut microbiota, which increases its effectiveness on a large number of symptoms. Renowned for their positive effects on the regulation of intestinal transit, strengthening the immune system and their anti-stress properties, probiotics combine with the benefits of Morinda citrifolia juice to offer, with KEM, a powerful well-being product, including several studies highlighted the health benefits, for example in patients with prostate hypertrophy.

While the role of the intestinal microbiota on health is relatively unknown in Africa, the PPM laboratories has the pleasure to receive, during PUS in Abidjan, support from Dr Marietou Traoré.

Neurologist, Epileptologist, head of the Neurology unit of the King Baudoin hospital in Guédiawaye and member of the Senegalese Society of Neurology, Dr Marietou Traoré had to do research on the microbiota in Japan. It is a subject that she is passionate about. Since then, she has been working to gain recognition for probiotics as an effective treatment in many pathologies, hence her particular interest in KEM Probiotics.
