Bifidobacterium lactis alleviates bloating
Clinical trial: the effects of a fermented milk product containing Bifidobacterium lactis DN-173 010 on abdominal distension and gastrointestinal transit in irritable bowel syndrome with constipation.
Most Relevant Research
We conducted a study to see if a fermented dairy product with Bifidobacterium lactis DN-173 010 could help reduce bloating in patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and constipation. In a controlled trial with 34 participants over four weeks, we found that this probiotic significantly decreased abdominal girth and improved gastrointestinal transit times.

Patients reported feeling less bloated, and symptom severity also decreased. These findings suggest that fostering faster transit times may be an effective method to combat abdominal distension.

Gut recovery achieved
Most Useful Review
My 8-year-old son had numerous tummy troubles, leading us to test for coeliac disease. His stomach was bloating, and despite dietary changes, he continued to have issues. I found this organic probiotic, and after just a few days, he had normal stools, with his bloating improving within a week. He enjoys the taste and has been taking them daily for about three months. On days with higher carbohydrate intake, we ensure he takes two capsules, and no more bloating occurs. This probiotic has truly aided my son's gut recovery.

After using this probiotic for a month, my allergic child experienced partial clearing of her atopic dermatitis, as long as allergens were avoided. We had a persistent sore caused by a food allergy for over two years, with dermatologists’ treatments proving ineffective. Other pharmacy probiotics failed too. However, this probiotic truly works wonders! I'm grateful to the manufacturer for their quality product.

Lactobacillus acidophilus helps eczema
Lactobacillus acidophilus KBL409 Ameliorates Atopic Dermatitis in a Mouse Model.
Most Relevant Research
We explored the potential of Lactobacillus acidophilus KBL409 in addressing atopic dermatitis, a common form of eczema. By using a mouse model induced by house dust mites, we found that administering this probiotic led to significantly lower dermatitis scores and less immune cell infiltration in the skin.

Additionally, L. acidophilus KBL409 reduced serum immunoglobulin E and influenced various cytokines linked to inflammation. It also positively affected gut microbiota and concentrations of beneficial compounds, hinting at a broader impact on our immune responses. Overall, our findings suggest that L. acidophilus KBL409 may be a promising probiotic for eczema management.

LC-STH-13 counters lupus effects
LC-STH-13 ameliorates the progression of SLE in MRL/lpr mice by inhibiting the TLR9/NF-κB signaling pathway.
Most Relevant Research
We explored the effects of probiotic LC-STH-13 on systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in MRL/lpr mice. Our study demonstrated that LC-STH-13 significantly decreased harmful autoantibodies and rebalanced specific immune cells.

We also observed reduced immune cell infiltration in kidney tissue, indicating less inflammation. Furthermore, the probiotic helped restore healthy gut microbiota which gets disrupted by SLE. These findings suggest that LC-STH-13 may offer a novel way to manage lupus by targeting both immune regulation and gut health.

Stopped abdominal pain
Most Useful Review
Excellent! Good probiotics with as many as 14 strains! My child liked the berry flavour. After attending kindergarten, the child often complained of bone pain. I opted for these probiotics, completed the course, and my child stopped complaining. The doctors were baffled with normal tests and ultrasound results, so I tried probiotics thinking they wouldn't hurt. After a rotavirus incident, I used them again whenever I noticed any intestinal issues. Overall, all ailments begin in the gut – healthy microflora equates to strong immunity.

Excellent quality! I tried various probiotics to restore my child's bowel function, resulting in significant improvements. Flatulence decreased, pain disappeared, and appetite increased. After six months, we had our first good coprogram results, showing positive levels of beneficial bacteria and no inflammation. The complex includes inulin, aloe vera, L-glutamine for intestinal regeneration, and milk thistle for liver relief. The taste is pleasant and the aroma lovely, with no unpleasantness.

Probiotics reduce flu symptoms
Probiotic effects on cold and influenza-like symptom incidence and duration in children.
Most Relevant Research
We examined how Lactobacillus acidophilus could help reduce cold and flu-like symptoms in young children during the winter months. In this well-structured study, 326 children aged 3 to 5 participated. They were randomly assigned to one of three groups: one received a placebo, while the others were given either Lactobacillus acidophilus alone or in combination with another probiotic, Bifidobacterium animalis subsp lactis.

Over a period of six months, the children in both probiotic groups reported significantly fewer symptoms and shorter durations of ailments compared to those on the placebo. For instance, the incidence of fever dropped by 53% to 73%, while coughing and rhinorrhea (a runny nose) also saw impressive reductions. Children taking probiotics needed antibiotics much less often and missed fewer days of childcare due to illness.

Overall, this study suggests that incorporating daily Lactobacillus acidophilus into children's diets can be an effective approach to bolster their health during flu season. It shows promise as a safe and helpful way to reduce common winter illnesses in young kids.

Significant improvement
Most Useful Review
This product has been fantastic for my five-year-old. I sought a good chewable probiotic that wasn’t just a vitamin. With only vitamins C and D added, it has significantly helped keep my child healthy. He usually has food sensitivities and seasonal allergies, but since taking this, his gut health has improved, and he was only sick twice this year, a remarkable change. He didn’t catch the severe flu this year, while many in his class did. I genuinely believe this product is responsible for that. He also enjoys the taste.

Lactobacillus association with pelvic pain
Urinary Microbiome and Cytokine Levels in Women With Interstitial Cystitis.
Most Relevant Research
We examined the urinary microbiome of women with interstitial cystitis and found it less diverse and containing fewer Lactobacillus acidophilus compared to a control group.

This lack of Lactobacillus was linked to more severe symptoms and poor quality of life. While we noted some associations between higher inflammatory markers and the severity of symptoms, we didn’t see a clear causal relationship.

Essentially, we’re still unsure if the presence of Lactobacillus can effectively reduce pelvic pain in this context.

Pain relief noted
Most Useful Review
For us, it was a relief after years of torment – my child struggled with the toilet, suffering from constant constipation and abdominal pain. After the course, I noticed my child began eating better and now goes to the toilet daily with softer stools. Importantly, the berry flavour is pleasing to them.

Bifidobacterium longum protects against pneumonia
Control of Klebsiella pneumoniae pulmonary infection and immunomodulation by oral treatment with the commensal probiotic Bifidobacterium longum 5(1A).
Most Relevant Research
We explored how the probiotic Bifidobacterium longum 5(1A) can affect pneumonia caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae in mice. Our study showed that this treatment led to a quicker resolution of lung inflammation and significantly reduced the bacterial load, ultimately saving 100% of the mice from death.

This protective effect was linked to the activation of the Toll-like receptor signaling pathway. In particular, B. longum 5(1A) helped balance the body's inflammatory response, promoting a faster recovery in the lungs. Overall, our findings suggest that this probiotic could play a beneficial role in enhancing lung health during infections.

Positive effects on gastrointestinal symptoms
Effect of a symbiotic gel (Lactobacillus acidophilus + Bifidobacterium lactis + inulin) on presence and severity of gastrointestinal symptoms in hemodialysis patients.
Most Relevant Research
Our research aimed to understand how a specific symbiotic gel, containing Lactobacillus acidophilus, affects gastrointestinal symptoms, including heartburn, in hemodialysis patients.

We conducted a double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial with 42 participants over two months. The group receiving the symbiotic gel reported significant improvements in the frequency and severity of symptoms like heartburn and stomachache compared to the control group.

Overall, the gel appeared safe with no adverse effects noted. More extensive studies are needed, but these findings suggest promising benefits for managing heartburn in dialysis patients.

Bifidobacterium bifidum improves CMPA
Bifidobacterium bifidum TMC3115 ameliorates milk protein allergy in by affecting gut microbiota: A randomized double-blind control trial.
Most Relevant Research
We explored how Bifidobacterium bifidum TMC3115 could help infants with cow's milk protein allergy (CMPA). In our controlled trial with 256 infants, half received B. bifidum while the other half received a placebo.

Over six months, we observed significant reductions in allergic scores and improvements in anti-inflammatory responses among those taking B. bifidum. We also found changes in gut microbiota, increasing beneficial bacteria and decreasing potentially harmful ones.

Though promising, these interventions indicate that managing CMPA may benefit from focusing on gut health.

Since taking this, his gut health has improved, and he was only sick twice this year, which was a significant improvement.

Probiotics boost immunity, reduce colds
Prospective study of probiotic supplementation results in immune stimulation and improvement of upper respiratory infection rate.
Most Relevant Research
We examined how probiotic supplementation influences the frequency of common colds in adults with a past history of multiple infections. In a carefully designed study where participants were randomly assigned to receive either a probiotic drink or a placebo, we observed that those taking probiotics had fewer upper respiratory infections and less severe flu-like symptoms.

Additionally, there was a notable increase in immune markers among the probiotic group, demonstrating enhanced immune function. However, certain immune indicators showed no significant differences between the groups. Overall, our findings suggest that probiotic drinks can be a safe option for reducing cold occurrences and boosting immunity.

Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus shows promise
In Vitro and In Vivo Evaluation of Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus GG and Bifidobacterium lactis Bb12 Against Avian Pathogenic Escherichia coli and Identification of Novel Probiotic-Derived Bioactive Peptides.
Most Relevant Research
We explored the potential of Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus GG as a probiotic treatment against avian pathogenic E. coli (APEC) in chickens. Our study showed that this probiotic significantly reduced APEC colonization in the chickens' cecum and improved the balance of gut microbiota over a 24-hour period.

Through laboratory evaluations, we detected novel bioactive peptides in the probiotic's culture supernatants, which may contribute to its antibacterial properties. While the results are promising for poultry health, more research is needed to optimize its use in real farming conditions.

Probiotics effective for UTI prevention
Efficacy of Probiotic Prophylaxis After The First Febrile Urinary Tract Infection in Children With Normal Urinary Tracts.
Most Relevant Research
We investigated whether a probiotic mix containing Lactobacillus acidophilus could prevent recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) in children aged 4 months to 5 years.

The study involved 181 children divided into two groups, one receiving probiotics and the other a placebo, over 18 months.

Results showed that the probiotic group had a lower recurrence of UTIs, with a composite cure rate of 96.7% compared to 83.3% in the placebo group. Overall, using this probiotic mixture may be a promising non-antibiotic option for UTI prevention in young children.
