Top Medical Research Studies

In this study, we investigated the potential of Saccharomyces cerevisiae UFMG A-905 in reducing asthma-like symptoms in a mouse model. The mice were sensitized and then treated daily with the probiotic before and during the allergic challenges.

Our findings revealed that this yeast strain significantly reduced airway hyperresponsiveness and inflammatory markers typically linked to asthma. We noticed decreased airway inflammation, mucus production, and levels of key inflammatory cytokines.

Overall, the results suggest that S. cerevisiae UFMG A-905 could help in preventing allergic asthma, but further research is needed to understand its full potential.

Selenium intake boosts lung function
This study explored how selenium intake relates to lung function in people with asthma. We analyzed data from 4,541 participants in a national survey using various statistical methods. Our findings showed a positive connection between higher selenium intake and better lung function, particularly in forced vital capacity and forced expiratory volume. We noted that to potentially enhance respiratory health, asthma patients could benefit from consuming between 137.65 mcg and 200 mcg of selenium daily, while also being cautious of any adverse effects.

Saccharomyces cerevisiae shows asthma prevention
We explored the impact of Saccharomyces cerevisiae UFMG A-905 on asthma prevention by giving it to pregnant mice and their offspring. Three groups received the yeast at different times in their development, while two control groups received a saline solution. The results showed that the offspring from the treated groups had significantly less airway hyperresponsiveness and lower levels of asthma-related substances compared to control mice. Interestingly, the strongest benefits were noted when the yeast was administered during lactation. Overall, this suggests that this unique yeast strain could be a promising option for asthma management.

Boosts respiration
NAC is incredible for its effects on allergies, asthma, coughing, detoxification, and general respiratory health. This product promotes liver and lung function because NAC effectively raises glutathione levels, the body's principal antioxidant.

We examined whether saccharomyces cerevisiae UFMG A-905 could help prevent asthma in a mouse model. The study evaluated different doses and regimens, revealing that daily giving of higher doses significantly reduced bronchial hyperresponsiveness—a key asthma symptom.

However, while we noticed improvements in hyperresponsiveness, there wasn’t a significant decrease in airway and lung inflammation with either regimen. Collectively, these findings suggest potential benefits of specific doses of this probiotic, but more research is needed to fully understand its effectiveness against asthma.

Prenatal selenium exposure and allergies
We aimed to understand how prenatal exposure to selenium, alongside mercury and manganese, affects the risk of allergic diseases in children up to three years old.

Using data from nearly 95,000 mother-infant pairs from the Japan Environment and Children's Study, we discovered that selenium might help lower the risk of atopic dermatitis, food allergies, allergic rhinitis, and other allergic conditions, particularly when mercury exposure is low.

This suggests that maintaining a healthy level of selenium during pregnancy may be beneficial for children's health regarding allergies.

Eases breathing
Detoxifier, expectorant, thinning phlegm. I ordered NAC for detox, liver, and bronchial cleansing. I began taking it when diagnosed with bronchial asthma and suffering from a lingering cold for two months. It has become much easier; the phlegm started to drain and my coughing ceased. I intend to repeat this medication.

Mucus removal
18 people found this helpful
I recommend this product. I tested it on patients: it effectively removes mucus and aids with ARVI, preventing excess nasal congestion. My health is stable, and I am even working. It has good detoxification and anti-inflammatory effects. There are observations of improvements with bronchial asthma. I rated it four stars for now and will update if I notice more benefits. I hope my review is helpful; stay healthy and happy!

Reduced anxiety attacks
7 people found this helpful
I'm hopeful for improvements in my asthma. Although I initially struggled to find NAC, I managed to buy it thanks to my friend. I used to fret about having my suction machine nearby, but lately, I've not had any attacks. The ingredient N-acetylcysteine helps maintain health effectively, and I plan to combine it with glutathione, particularly as it's more cost-effective.

We investigated the potential of bread fermented with UFMG A-905 yeast to prevent asthma in mice. The study involved creating three types of breads, and mice were exposed to allergens after consuming them.

Results showed that the UFMG A-905 bread, especially when combined with microcapsules, not only increased yeast counts but also decreased airway inflammation and hyperresponsiveness.

These findings suggest that this innovative probiotic bread could offer a promising approach to asthma management.
