Abstract
BB12 are the probiotic strains studied most. The exact composition of the product which is used, including the dosage, is not always indicated in the registry. The majority of probiotics studies at ClinicalTrials.gov is registered in the USA or Europe (56%). The data from ICTRP show the rapid expansion of clinical studies with probiotics in Asia, notably Iran and China.
