Rezensionen

"It is not intended primarily for gastroenterologists, although it
does contain some insights that clinicians will find useful ... For
these alone, the book can be recommended to those who struggle with
supporting health claims for probiotics." (Gastroenterological, 1
November 2011)

"In conclusion, I consider this book to be a must-have for all
those evaluating their favourite strains with respect to claim
substantiation. As intended by the editors, it allows for a
comparison of health claims systems in different regions of the
world. It contains helpful remarks with respect to putting together
a dossier and is therefore imperative in your library of probiotic
reference books." (Beneficial Microbes, 1 June 2011)
