Probion - The Smart Tablet

Wasa Medicals is a company working on research and development in the field of probiotics and prebiotics. Wasa Medicals produces ProBion® tablets. These contain probiotics, viable lactic acid bacteria and also prebiotics, nutrition for the healthy bacteria.

Production Technique

The tablets are produced according to a unique, patented "low-compression-technique" where less than 10% of the conventional compression force is used. The production method is patented world-wide. There are many advantages with this production technique:

The cultures remain viable during the production which is not the case when using conventional compression forces.

The cultures are protected from oxygen and humidity within the tablet, which improves the stability.

The bacteria in the tablet are also protected from the gastric and bile acids.

The tablet has a slow and regulated disintegration profile in the small intestine, spreading the bacteria over a large area, this increases the beneficial effects.

The bacterial strains available to pack in the tablet are numerous since cultures that are sensitive to gastric and bile acids can be used.
