Probiotics are on the rise in Senegal

Publish date: 09 September 2021 / Health

While probiotics are still little known in Africa, Dr. Marietou Traoré, at the initiative of PPM Laboratories which produce KEM Probiotics, led a webinar on this subject for the Duopharm Group’s partner pharmacies in Senegal.

This webinar, scheduled to last two hours, ended after three hours as there were many questions.

According to the World Health Organization, “probiotics are micro-organisms that, when ingested in sufficient quantities, have positive effects on health beyond the traditional nutritional effects”. These probiotics, commonly called bacteria or yeast, have multiple effects. They stimulate and strengthen the immune system, participate in the regulation of intestinal transit to prevent or treat diarrhea and constipation, and help fight against the effects of stress.

Developed by the PPM laboratories, KEM Probiotics is an original and unique combination of the benefits of 50 natural and live probiotics combined with the beneficial properties of Morinda citrifolia juice, used for thousands of years in the traditional pharmacopoeia. This juice is reputed to improve the body’s natural defenses and general tone, to benefit from better sleep and to fight against cellular aging, pain and inflammation.
