Top Medical Research Studies

We evaluated how Lactobacillus acidophilus might help with ear infections by analyzing its antibacterial properties, both alone and alongside ciprofloxacin. The study revealed that L. acidophilus effectively co-aggregated with harmful bacteria and showed significant activity against some pathogens associated with chronic otitis media.

Although we found it beneficial in certain combinations, there were also cases where its effects were counterproductive. Overall, while L. acidophilus shows promise as a complementary treatment for bacterial ear infections, its effectiveness may vary depending on the specific bacteria involved.

Acidophilus aids antibiotic side effects
We aimed to see how Lactobacillus acidophilus could help with gastrointestinal issues linked to oral antibiotic therapy in patients with ear infections. In our study, participants were treated with either amoxicillin/clavulanate alone or in combination with acidophilus.

Results showed that the combination significantly reduced gastrointestinal complaints and yeast infections. Nearly 89% of patients reported that their infections resolved during treatment. It seems that adding acidophilus can be helpful for those experiencing side effects from antibiotics.

Nutraceutical aids in ear infection treatment
We examined whether a specific oral supplementation could help treat ear infections in kids. Children were placed in one of three groups, with two groups receiving a supplement alongside standard treatment, while the control group received only standard care.

After analyzing their conditions, we found that the supplement improved ear and hearing assessments in comparison to the control group. Notably, one treatment group showed significant improvement at the study's end, confirming that the nutraceutical can effectively support treatment for ear infections without side effects associated with conventional pain relievers.

I'm delighted with this product! I take it regularly, and it's truly effective. My child's intestinal health has improved, with no constipation issues. It has saved us from infections, improved absorption, fixed the microbiome, and enhanced digestion. Overall, it's been nothing but beneficial – a fantastic supplement. I've even used it to ferment milk alongside antibiotics, and everything has improved significantly.

Assessing immune supplements' efficacy
We analyzed a study that aimed to see if a mix of immune-boosting supplements, including Lactobacillus acidophilus, could help children suffering from ear infections.

The trial involved nearly 200 kids, divided into groups receiving different dosages over various durations. We found that those receiving these oral supplements showed improved ear ventilation and reduced inflammation over time.

However, while the findings suggest some benefits, further research may be needed to confirm how effective these treatments can be overall.

Stomach issues resolved
11 people found this helpful
This product is highly effective! I've been taking this probiotic for two years and love it. It has resolved my upset stomach after meals, and I no longer experience gas or yeast infections. It's remarkable how well a reasonably priced product can perform. I take one pill every evening with dinner. Although it doesn't require refrigeration, I store the remaining pills in the fridge after loading my weekly pill box.

I purchased this for my mother. Previously, when I used it for constipation, it was ineffective. However, I discovered it helps eliminate Helicobacter pylori, so I encouraged my mother to try it, and it worked wonders! Her symptoms of stomach upset and discomfort improved quickly. I realise that the suitable lactic acid bacteria can vary among individuals, and my mother is thrilled to enjoy her meals without discomfort.

Avoided infection
2 people found this helpful
Surprisingly effective! I've used other, pricier brands with less success. After a month of using this, it took some time to adapt, but it effectively battled my intestinal issues. This is often my most challenging time of year for sinus infections. There were moments I thought I might succumb, but I credit this product for helping me avoid infection thus far. Don't be misled by the low price; I definitely recommend it!
