We at Arktis BioPharma have developed a new product, Arktibiotic Sensitive, and that's why I invited Dr. Florian Bilz from Arktis BioPharma Germany, who works there for quality management and product management, to give you an insight into how product development works for us and what we pay attention to!

About Dr. Florian Bilz

Florian holds a doctorate in neuroscience and has always had a soft spot for physiological processes. As a biologist at heart, he is interested in all processes that happen in and around living beings. It is precisely this fascination that he brings to his daily work in product management and scientific consulting, as you will find out in our exciting interview.

We talk about histamine, what it is, what is good about it and what may be problematic about it, but Florian also tells us how products are developed at Arktis BioPharma and what needs to be taken into account before a new product ends up on the shelf.

What symptoms can indicate histaminosis or histamine problems (histamine intolerance)?

Many people with histamine intolerance suffer from histamine-related problems such as

• hay fever
• allergies
• headaches
• migraines
• Skin irritation or wheal formation (urticaria or hives)
• runny nose
• Chronic coughing

Histaminosis can therefore trigger a wide range of problems, but it is also important to know that histamine is a vital substance for us and regulates things such as the cardiovascular system, stomach acid production, vasodilation and the sleep-wake rhythm.
In other words, we need histamine!
It is therefore important to maintain a balance in the body, not too much, not too little.

Connection between the gut and histamine

Florian therefore also talks about the connection between the gut and a balanced microbiome and histamine and how this knowledge has resulted in a new product, Arktibiotic Sensitive.
I find the topic of product development very exciting, so I asked Florian a few questions about it!

You can find out more in the interview about it:

• How to select the bacteria that should go into a probiotic
• Why certain bacteria are not available for product development
• Where information is collected
• How the product is tested
• Why bacterial products need a carrier
• and much more

Arktis BioPharma tests and produces the products itself on site in Wickede, Germany and this interview gives a great impression of how this works.
It is important to us that we do not use any additives, preservatives etc.
