We explored the effects of vitamin D (VD) on gut health during infections caused by a common foodborne bacterium. By using intestinal cells and mouse models, we looked at how this vitamin interacts with the body’s defenses and could potentially restore the gut’s protective barrier during these infections.

Our findings reveal that infections can disrupt gut barrier function and activate the immune system. In patients suffering from campylobacteriosis, we noted that the vitamin D receptor's (VDR) activity was reduced, indicating a weakening of immune responses.

When we supplemented with VD in lab settings, we noticed impressive barrier-preserving effects. In fact, VD reversed the impairment caused by the infection, supporting better functioning of tight junctions within the gut lining. This ultimately led to decreased bacteria moving across the gut barrier.

Overall, our research suggests that vitamin D could be a promising treatment in addressing gut turmoil caused by foodborne infections. It appears that VD supplementation could restore gut barrier functionality, providing a new avenue for both human and animal health.

Vitamin D enhances immune response
We explored the effect of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3, a potent form of vitamin D, on the body's response to food poisoning caused by Salmonella. The research focused on how this vitamin influences key immune proteins produced by intestinal epithelial cells, which are crucial for fighting infections.

Our findings revealed that vitamin D treatment led to decreased levels of interleukin-8, a protein that promotes inflammation, in response to Salmonella. However, it notably enhanced the production of human beta-defensin-2, an important antimicrobial peptide that helps protect against infections.

These effects seem to stem from vitamin D's influence on specific cellular pathways, indicating that it could fine-tune our immune system’s response. By bolstering anti-microbial defense while tempering excessive inflammation, vitamin D may enhance our body’s ability to fend off Salmonella infections, suggesting a potential therapeutic strategy against foodborne diseases.

This remedy for colic is effective! It tastes like oil; I use 5 drops with food, and it's the best option from birth. I can confidently say this is the best supplement that has significantly helped us.

My son has been constipated since starting baby food. I tried magnesium oxide, but once it was stopped, the issue returned. Since introducing this, he has been able to pass stools easily, marking a significant improvement.

Quick recovery noted

Quick fix for nausea, diarrhoea, tummy ache, or even flu symptoms! This strain of bacteria is especially beneficial for children experiencing these issues. With just a couple of doses, they show noticeable improvement. It is best taken on an empty stomach a few minutes before food. The taste is tolerable, even for babies. I can guarantee the quality as its action is quite fast. Within 2-3 days of usage (as often as needed), my child felt better. I once used it on my elderly mother who suffered from severe gastroenteritis, and after one dose, she stopped vomiting. You just need to keep taking it every few hours to balance the gut bacteria.

Constipation resolved

While introducing baby food, my son encountered mild constipation. However, after consistently using this supplement, the issue has cleared up entirely, and I’m pleased with the results after ten months of regular use.

Stomach issues resolved

Since the age of two months, my son had been constipated and required daily cotton swab enemas. After trying this at eleven months, I noticed that, following the introduction of oatmeal as baby food, constipation has greatly improved. Moreover, I found that my son's sleep has vastly improved too—he now sleeps longer periods without waking as frequently. I wish I had discovered this sooner!

Prevented hospitalisation
1 people found this helpful
My child, who started nursery school, had stomach issues and was hospitalised for two weeks due to a viral infection. After being discharged, I sought this supplement to help prevent further illnesses and regulate his stomach. Initially, I gave him two drops each morning and evening, which seemed beneficial as he hasn't caught a cold since. He’s regained weight lost during hospitalisation and seems to be doing well. While I cannot pinpoint its exact effect on his gastrointestinal environment, it appears to alleviate teething discomfort and mouth inflammation, which has been encouraging. Although a bit pricey, it’s worth it for my child’s health.

Probiotic necessity

The best for your child! Contains 100% reuteri, which is essential for the body. I have given it since birth after my baby was on antibiotics early on. Despite the stress of the situation, this product has worked wonders in conjunction with breastfeeding. There are no issues now, and my baby is thriving at 8 months, so I ordered a second pack as complementary foods are being introduced.
