    Gdansk, Poland: – Bacteriophage technology specialist contract research organization Phage Consultants explored exciting new opportunities for enhancing dietary supplements with phage therapy at its debut appearance at the latest SupplySide West congress in the USA.

    “Phage Consultants attended the event to see how the market is developing and to explore our potential to develop phage-based components for the dietary supplements and related markets,” said Dr. Los.

    Effects on human microbiome

    “We are aware that our advanced bacteriophage-based technologies could be of considerable interest to the producers of supplements and food scientists who form key audiences for SupplySide West,” Dr. Los added.

    “They showed particular interest in the potential ability of bacteriophages to enhance their dietary supplements, for example through effects on the human microbiome, thus increasing the value of their product,” he explained.
