Probiotic aids infant reflux issues
Lactobacillus reuteri accelerates gastric emptying and improves regurgitation in infants.
Most Relevant Research
We explored how Lactobacillus reuteri affects regurgitation and gastric emptying in infants suffering from gastroesophageal reflux. By following 42 infants for 30 days, with some receiving the probiotic and others a placebo, we witnessed notable results.
Infants taking Lactobacillus reuteri showed significantly reduced episodes of regurgitation and faster gastric emptying. This probiotic appears to ease discomfort related to reflux, offering parents a potential solution to this common issue.

Vitamin D reduces flu risk
Association Between Vitamin D and Influenza: Meta-Analysis and Systematic Review of Randomized Controlled Trials.
Most Relevant Research
We explored the potential benefits of vitamin D supplementation for reducing the risk of influenza infections. Through a comprehensive analysis of multiple Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs), we aimed to clarify whether taking vitamin D can help prevent the flu.
Our investigation identified 10 relevant trials that included a total of 4,859 participants. These studies varied in their dosages and duration of vitamin D use, allowing us to assess overall effectiveness across different populations.
The findings were encouraging: our analysis demonstrated that vitamin D supplementation appears to significantly reduce the risk of getting influenza, suggesting that those who increase their vitamin D intake might be better protected during flu season.
Importantly, we did not find significant differences between the studies that could affect our result, and there was no hint of publication bias. Consequently, we can confidently suggest that including vitamin D in our health strategies could enhance our defenses against the flu.

Vitamin D deficiency linked to allergies
Does vitamin D deficiency predispose to allergic proctocolitis?
Most Relevant Research
We investigated the potential connection between vitamin D deficiency and allergic proctocolitis (AP) in infants. Our study involved a careful comparison of vitamin D levels in infants diagnosed with AP against those of healthy infants. This meticulous, prospective approach allows us to draw insightful conclusions about how vitamin D might be influencing allergic conditions.
We found that vitamin D levels were noticeably lower in infants suffering from AP compared to their healthy peers. Notably, a significant percentage of AP patients—34.7%—were found to be vitamin D deficient or insufficient. Furthermore, the study revealed that infants with vitamin D levels below 40.75 mcg/L were 3.5 times more likely to develop AP.
Our findings suggest an intriguing association between vitamin D deficiency and allergic proctocolitis, hinting that the rising rates of such allergies may be influenced by environmental factors. It appears crucial that we assess vitamin D levels in infants diagnosed with AP, as this could contribute to better understanding and management of the condition.

Relieves baby colic
Most Useful Review
If you have a baby with colic or food allergies, look no further. My daughter experienced both issues. This product, alongside Alimentum formula, saved my sanity. At four weeks, she fussed for up to 16 hours daily. After trying reflux meds with little improvement, we discovered her food allergies. This product reduced her fussiness significantly after just three days. Eventually, she passed gas easily and fussed for three hours or less nightly. If your baby is like mine, please buy this!

L. reuteri enhances bowel movements
The effect of Lactobacillus reuteri supplementation in adults with chronic functional constipation: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial.
Most Relevant Research
We conducted a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial involving 40 adults with functional constipation to see if Lactobacillus reuteri could improve their condition. Over four weeks, those receiving L. reuteri had a notable increase in weekly bowel movements, averaging 2.6 more compared to just 1.0 in the placebo group.
While this probiotic showed promise in enhancing bowel movement frequency, it did not significantly change stool consistency. This suggests that L. reuteri may be a beneficial option for adults struggling with constipation.

Vitamin D reduces cold severity
Influence of Vitamin D Supplementation by Simulated Sunlight or Oral D3 on Respiratory Infection during Military Training.
Most Relevant Research
We explored the connection between vitamin D levels and upper respiratory tract infections (URTIs) among military recruits during their training. This observation spanned across different seasons and included over 1,600 recruits. Our aim was to understand how achieving sufficient vitamin D levels could potentially impact the frequency and severity of colds among physically active individuals.
In an additional phase of the research, we conducted a randomized controlled trial with 250 male recruits. They received either a placebo, simulated sunlight exposure, or oral vitamin D3 supplements during winter. This comparison allowed us to see if these methods effectively increased vitamin D levels to a sufficient status of 25(OH)D at 50 nmol/L or higher.
Notably, our findings showed that only 21% of recruits had adequate vitamin D during winter, yet those who did were 40% less likely to suffer from URTIs. Furthermore, both vitamin D supplementation strategies similarly helped nearly all participants achieve sufficient levels. Vitamin D supplementation notably reduced the severity of URTI symptoms by 15% and the number of days with URTIs by 36% compared to placebo.
While the supplementation strategies did not significantly alter other immune factors, such as salivary secretory immunoglobulin A, the overall reduction in respiratory infections indicates a beneficial effect of maintaining vitamin D sufficiency during military training.

Boosted immune system
Most Useful Review
This product is highly recommended by my paediatrician. My daughter, who's been using Biogaia since she was two months old, has never been a colicky baby and has always been content and regular with her digestion. She has remained so healthy that she didn't catch a cold until 10 months, and even that was minor. I believe this product has significantly enhanced her immune system. The drops mix well in her morning milk, and she’s never protested taking them. Although slightly pricey, they are worth every penny for me, and I will certainly use them for my second child.

I can't say enough good things about these probiotic drops. Recommended by my paediatrician, they've helped significantly with my son's colic and painful gas, as well as a small amount of thrush on his tongue. It took about a week to see results, but now he sleeps longer and no longer screams in pain.

Vitamin D aids back pain recovery
An Unusual Mimic of Axial Spondyloarthritis: A Case Report.
Most Relevant Research
We observed a fascinating case involving a male in his 40s who experienced persistent inflammatory back pain for three months. Despite having a negative test for HLA-B27, a marker often associated with axial spondyloarthritis, clinical assessments suggested possible underlying issues.
The clinical investigation led to an MRI, which confirmed bilateral symmetrical sacroiliitis. Interestingly, further tests showed he had very low vitamin D levels along with elevated parathyroid hormone—indicating a possible deficiency impacting his condition.
After starting treatment with vitamin D alongside nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), he experienced notable relief from his symptoms. His condition improved significantly, and follow-up tests indicated that his vitamin D levels had normalized.
This case demonstrates the potential benefits of vitamin D in managing back pain, especially when classical markers are inconclusive. It highlights how a thorough diagnosis can reveal interconnected health issues and improve treatment outcomes.
