PROLACTYS^® Healthy ageing support

The number of people aged 60 and older worldwide is projected to increase from 1.1 in 2023 to 1.4 billion by 2030.

By 2050, 1 out of 6 people in the world will be over the age of 65, and the number of people aged 80 or over will triple in the next 30 years (WHO; Ageing: Global population; February 2025).

THE AGED MICROBIOTA PRESENTS A DECLINE IN MICROBIAL DIVERSITY.

Novel studies suggest that gut microbiota dysbiosis could also play a significant role in the ageing phenotype. Concomitantly with microbiota changes, immunity becomes impaired in elderly which results in a state of low-grade chronic systemic inflammation called Inflammageing.

THE ELDERLY’S DYSBIOTIC GUT MICROBIOTA. A NEW THERAPEUTIC OPPORTUNITY FOR HEALTHY AGEING.

According to NCOA (National Council On Ageing) research, 94.9% of adults age 60 and older have at least one health-related condition like heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and some cancers, while 78.7% have two or more (National Council on Ageing ; April 2022).

WHAT ARE PROBIOTICS IN THE PROLACTYS HUMAN ESSENTIALS OF tht?

The most recent definition of probiotics has been established by the International Scientific Association for Probiotics and Prebiotics (ISAPP).

Probiotics are live microorganisms that, when administered in adequate amounts, confer a health benefit on the host

The global Older Adults Health Supplements industry represented USD 182.6 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach a value of USD 314.2 billion by 2034, expanding at a CAGR of 5.6% over the assessment period of 2024 to 2034 (fmi (Futur Market Insight) Older Adults Health Supplements Market Report).
