We investigated how consuming Qingrun yogurt, which contains the probiotic Bifidobacterium lactis, affects common colds among adults living in hazy areas. In a clinical trial with 136 participants, those who enjoyed the probiotic yogurt daily experienced fewer colds and reported milder symptoms compared to those who consumed regular yogurt.
Remarkably, it even shortened the duration and intensity of respiratory infections. The findings suggest that incorporating probiotic yogurt into our diets could be a beneficial strategy to help combat upper respiratory infections.

We assessed the impact of a two-strain probiotic, Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium bifidum, on common cold symptoms in schoolchildren through a double-blind randomized controlled trial.
Over three months, children aged 8-13 in Thailand received either the probiotics or a placebo.
We found a significant reduction in cold symptoms and school absenteeism among those taking the probiotic, along with lower rates of fever and cough. Overall, this suggests probiotics could be beneficial in managing cold symptoms for school-aged kids.

We conducted a randomized, placebo-controlled study to examine the effects of Lactococcus lactis JCM5805 on common cold immunity. Our findings showed that this probiotic activated human plasmacytoid dendritic cells, which are key players in fighting viruses.
Participants who consumed yogurt fermented with L. lactis JCM5805 experienced a reduced risk of getting colds compared to those in the placebo group. This suggests that L. lactis may enhance our body's anti-viral defenses.
Overall, it looks like incorporating L. lactis into our diet could be beneficial for boosting immunity against the common cold.

Improved asthma symptoms
4 people found this helpful
I have used this probiotic brand for over five years, and it works wonders for my immune system and my bowels. This new version is just as effective, and my six-year-old grandson has been using it too. He has asthma, but since he started taking it, he hasn’t had any breathing problems from the common cold this year. I highly recommend this product; you’ll be glad you gave it a try.

Reduced cold frequency

The child enjoys the taste very much. We drink it once every three to four months for two weeks. Bad breath has disappeared, and the child has fewer colds. I also take it when issues arise.

Soothing upset stomach
1 people found this helpful
I believe this should be in every first aid kit for both children and adults. It has a pleasant taste and is incredibly useful during a common cold or when my stomach is upset in the summer. I take it for 10 to 15 days and give it to my children.

We examined the effects of Lactobacillus acidophilus on cold symptoms in young children. In a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, 326 children ages 3-5 received either probiotics or placebo for six months.
The results were promising: children taking probiotics had significantly fewer instances of fever, cough, and runny nose compared to those on placebo. They also missed fewer school days and required less antibiotic treatment.
Overall, probiotics proved to be a safe and effective method for reducing common cold symptoms in children.

Lactococcus lactis enhances workplace health
We explored whether the lactic acid bacteria strain Plasma (LC-Plasma) could benefit office workers' health and work performance. In a randomized crossover study, 153 participants enjoyed a yogurt beverage containing LC-Plasma for four weeks, followed by a washout.
Our findings revealed that during the intake period, workers experienced improved presenteeism and higher levels of vigor. We also noted a reduction in common cold symptoms, suggesting that LC-Plasma may support physical health effectively. Overall, this treatment could be a convenient way to bolster workplace well-being.
