Probiotics are live microorganisms that, when administered in the right amount, have a beneficial effect on the health. The definition of probiotics refers to their effects on health. However, it is against the law to use health claims that suggest or indicate the effects of food supplements in specific diseases.
Probiotics available on the market can be:
- food,
- food supplements,
- dietary foods for special medical purposes,
- medications.
Each group of products is regulated by specific legal acts that oblige producers to comply with certain rules.
Health claims – food supplements
What are food supplements and what are health claims?
- According to the Act of August 25, 2006 on food safety and nutrition, „A FOOD SUPPLEMENT is a food intended to supplement a normal diet, being a concentrated source of vitamins or minerals or other substances with a nutritional or other physiological effect, single or complex, marketed in a dosage form, in the form of: capsules, tablets, dragees and other similar forms, powder sachets, liquid ampoules, dropper bottles and other similar forms of liquids and powders intended to be consumed in small, measured unit amounts, with excluding products having the properties of a medicinal product within the meaning of the provisions of pharmaceutical law”.
- As defined in REGULATION (EC) No 1924/2006 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 20 December 2006 on nutrition and health claims made on foods, „HEALTH CLAIM means any claim that states, suggests or implies that there is a the relationship between a food category, a certain food or one of its constituents and health”.
Therefore, due to legal requirements, health claims indicating or suggesting the therapeutic effect of probiotics cannot be made in the case of food supplements. And as we already know, probiotics are by definition supposed to affect health, and in clinical trials they have proven not only prophylactic, but also curative effects in the case of many diseases.
There are many manufacturers on the market who act illegally and indicate the effects of probiotics on specific diseases. This creates another dilemma, if someone acts outside the law by using illegal claims for food supplements, how can you be sure, that what he declares is true? Perhaps it is just the desperation of manufacturer, who wants to show the effect of his product? The best solution is to take the time to delve into the manufacturer’s research, or read real customer opinions.
Living Food probiotics research
We would love to share with you information on the effective health effects of Living Food probiotics. Unfortunately, we cannot do this in advertisements, banners and offers, as doing so would be against the law.Acting in accordance with the law is most important to us. It does not change the fact that we regularly confirm the beneficial effects of our probiotics and receive great feedback from satisfied customers.We regularly conduct numerous studies that confirm the high quality and effectiveness of our probiotics:
- research conducted for our products in cooperation with a leading research center in Europe, the Institute of Immunology and Experimental Therapy Ludwik Hirszfeld of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Wrocław, which demonstrated the STIMULATING AND PROTECTIVE EFFECT OF JOY DAY LIQUID PROBIOTIC PRODUCTS ON THE HUMAN IMMUNE SYSTEM (chart below).
So we could declare, “Joy Day liquid probiotics have a protective and healing effect“, but we don’t!
- studies that were carried out at the University of Life Sciences in Poznań, show the positive effect of bacteria contained in Living Food products on the intestinal microbiome. It is worth emphasizing that the intestines are one of the places of induction of the immune response and are referred to as “our second brain”.
We could therefore conclude: “Living Food probiotics, thanks to their beneficial effects on the gut microbiome, determine the health of the immune system as well as mental health“, but we don’t do that!
- research confirming that our liquid products contain not only live and active probiotic bacteria with specific functions, but also POSTBIOTICS that bring additional benefits to the products.
Therefore, we could declare: “Living Food probiotics in liquid form, thanks to the content of live and active probiotic bacteria and postbiotics, have a health-promoting effect on the human body“, but we don’t do that!
- daily tests that we conduct in our laboratory, which ensure the quality and safety of our products.
Therefore, we could declare: ”The high quality and safety of the Living Food liquid probiotics guarantees their beneficial effect on human health”, but we don’t do that!
More informations about research for our products is available in Scientific Monograph (in Polish): https://living-food.pl/wp-content/uploads/Monografia_162x325_PL_2112020_prev.pdf
Living Food probiotic products are effective and safe to use. However, all activities we conduct are always in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. That is why we don’t declare, suggest, or imply that our probiotics affect health.

One of the messages that we recently received from Mr. Robert is very edifying for us and confirms our belief that what we do helps to improve quality of life of other people. Mr. Robert wrote:
“I would like to inform you that after the gastroscopy the doctor prescribed a treatment consisting of 3 antibiotics and 1 chemotherapeutic. He noted that these drugs cause significant fungal changes in the body and recommended taking a probiotic through the treatment. I found your company on the internet. I ordered Joy Day liquid probiotics for the entire treatment. I regularly took the preparation 3 times a day. During the follow-up gastroscopy, the doctor was very surprised by the absence of any fungal lesions. The probiotic worked, thank you”.
We encourage you to take our probiotics and share your opinion. We cannot make health claims because it is against the law. However, we can share both the results of our research and opinions, which are the best recommendation and statement that it worth to use our products.
