Probiotics boost immunity, reduce colds
Prospective study of probiotic supplementation results in immune stimulation and improvement of upper respiratory infection rate.
Relevant study on cold treatment.
We examined how probiotic supplementation influences the frequency of common colds in adults with a past history of multiple infections. In a carefully designed study where participants were randomly assigned to receive either a probiotic drink or a placebo, we observed that those taking probiotics had fewer upper respiratory infections and less severe flu-like symptoms.

Additionally, there was a notable increase in immune markers among the probiotic group, demonstrating enhanced immune function. However, certain immune indicators showed no significant differences between the groups. Overall, our findings suggest that probiotic drinks can be a safe option for reducing cold occurrences and boosting immunity.

LcS reduces cold occurrence
Daily intake of fermented milk with Lactobacillus casei strain Shirota reduces the incidence and duration of upper respiratory tract infections in healthy middle-aged office workers.
Highly relevant findings supported
We observed the effects of fermented milk containing Lactobacillus casei strain Shirota on upper respiratory tract infections (URTIs) among 96 healthy office workers aged 30 to 49. In a randomized controlled trial, participants consumed LcS-FM or control milk daily for 12 weeks. Results showed a significant reduction in URTI incidence in the LcS-FM group (22.4% versus 53.2%), along with fewer episodes and shorter duration of symptoms. This suggests that Lactobacillus casei may support immune health, helping fend off colds.

Probiotic yogurt reduces cold symptoms
Effect of fermented milk on upper respiratory tract infection in adults who lived in the haze area of Northern China: a randomized clinical trial.
High relevance due to health insights
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.

Supports immunity well
This product is excellent for supporting immunity during viral diseases and common colds, as well as after antibiotics. However, it’s important not to give probiotics to children without reason.

Enhanced immunity
I regularly purchase this probiotic. Its quality is excellent and it significantly helps during common colds. The composition includes 14 probiotic strains, which contribute to a stronger immune system and a healthy digestive tract. The product tastes like sweets, making it enjoyable for children, with no sugar in its composition. I've noticed improvements immediately after starting, particularly with stool regularity and immune support during colds.

Positive results
This probiotic is effective! We've bought it four times and consistently see results, especially when my child avoids healthy foods and favours carbohydrates. It works well during common colds and helps restore a varied diet.

Probiotics effectively reduce cold symptoms
Probiotic effects on cold and influenza-like symptom incidence and duration in children.
Study highly relevant to childhood health
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.

Probiotics may lessen cold symptoms
Effect of Lactobacillus gasseri PA 16/8, Bifidobacterium longum SP 07/3, B. bifidum MF 20/5 on common cold episodes: a double blind, randomized, controlled trial.
Study shows moderate relevance
We investigated whether daily probiotics, specifically Bifidobacterium longum, could help lessen the severity and duration of common cold symptoms over a three-month period.

In a well-structured study involving 479 healthy adults, we compared those taking probiotics with a control group. Our findings showed that the probiotic users experienced shorter cold episodes—by almost two days—and reported less severe symptoms, with clear improvements in their immune cells.

Overall, it seems that Bifidobacterium longum could offer a valuable aid in combating common colds.

Effective against dysbiosis
These versatile probiotics are excellent for resolving issues like dysbiosis after antibiotics and boosting immunity. I gave them to my son for microflora restoration post-antibiotics, and he took them without issue. I noticed he did not catch the common cold during this period, which was remarkable!
