Effect of OMX capsule on Diarrhea in infants 3-24 months of age JRRMMC Randomized controlled trial. (2 Capsules a day) Intake of OMX Probiotics capsule (1capsule BID for 5 days), in addition to ORS, significantly reduced the duration of Diarrhea in children compared with those who only received ORS. The mean days Were shorter 3.17 days in the probiotic Group than in the non-probiotic group with 5.42 days. Design Outcome * Second Prize; PPS – Inter-subspecialty Convention 2006, Manila Presented: 1 st Asian Congress of Pediatric Research Tokyo, Japan 2006

The freeze drying process involves the removal of water by subjecting the bacteria to extremes of heat and cold and the application of vacuum. This drastic “ripping off” of water from a living organism disrupts its structure, function and internal environment. Addition of stabilizers and preservatives prior to freeze drying.
