In probiotics, "clinically proven" means that the probiotic strain has been tested in human clinical trials under controlled conditions. These studies are typically peer-reviewed and published in scientific journals, ensuring the results are credible and based on evidence rather than anecdotal claims. For a probiotic to be "clinically proven," it should show consistent, statistically significant results.

BioGaia Baby Drops, particularly the Lactobacillus reuteri strain DSM 17938 they contain, have been extensively researched in collaboration with several leading institutions worldwide. Some notable research locations include:

- Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden

- Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences in Uppsala, Sweden

- Sahlgrenska University Hospital in Gothenburg, Sweden

- Texas Children’s Hospital in the USA

- University Hospitals of Bari and Turin in Italy

- These collaborations have helped ensure that BioGaia’s products are backed by rigorous scientific evidence.
