Lactobacillus boosts immunity against flu
We explored the impact of heat-killed Lactobacillus gasseri TMC0356 on flu infection in mice. The study showed that mice receiving this treatment had significantly reduced clinical symptoms and lower viral loads compared to controls.
Immune responses, particularly in gut and respiratory areas, were stimulated, leading to increased activity of key immune molecules.
Overall, this suggests that heat-killed lactobacilli could be an effective way to enhance immunity against influenza.

We examined whether oral probiotics, specifically Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG and Lactobacillus gasseri TMC0356, could help protect against influenza in mice.
Over 19 days, these mouse subjects received the probiotics before being infected with the flu virus. Our results revealed that the mice given these lactobacilli showed significantly improved clinical symptoms and lower virus levels in their lungs compared to the control group.
Thus, it appears that these probiotics may offer some level of protection against flu infections through their beneficial interaction with gut immunity.

We examined how feeding mice the probiotic Lactobacillus paracasei might enhance their immune response to the flu. This study revealed that after seven days of Lactobacillus intake, mice showed improved lung health and faster recovery from influenza.
These mice experienced less lung inflammation and had a better ability to clear the virus. Though the gut microbiota didn't significantly change in composition, some beneficial strains increased after flu infection.
Overall, this research indicates that Lactobacillus paracasei could play a helpful role in managing flu symptoms and strengthening immunity.

I've been taking these capsules (2 per day) for 1.5 years. Prior to that, I was sick with colds and sinus infections for 3 months straight. Since using Jarro-Dophilus EPS, I haven't had a sniffle. A friend recommended it after he improved his health with it, and I'm forever grateful. It's been years since I've gone a whole year without a cold or the flu.

Jarrow-Dophilus works for me. I've used this probiotic for years. It improved my immune system after just a month. If I forget to take it, my uncomfortable gut reminds me. I haven't had the flu or a bad cold in years. While it's not the only reason for my health, I believe it plays an important role in keeping me well.

Lactobacillus plantarum shows promise
We investigated whether a special strain of Lactobacillus plantarum, modified to express flu virus components, could help protect against bird flu in mice.
Our findings revealed that this treatment significantly boosted immune responses, notably increasing specific antibodies.
Mice vaccinated with the recombinant strains showed notable protection levels against H9N2 and H1N1 viruses, demonstrating up to 80% and 60% protection, respectively.
Overall, these results suggest that recombinant Lactobacillus plantarum could be a promising candidate for oral flu vaccines.

We examined whether probiotics, like Lactobacillus, can help prevent flu and other upper respiratory infections. Our analysis included 23 trials with nearly 7,000 participants of all ages.
Results suggest that probiotics may reduce the chances of getting respiratory infections, lower the number of severe cases, and potentially shorten the duration of illness. They might even decrease the need for antibiotics. However, the benefits may not be as strong as initially thought, and we found that adverse effects were minimal.
Overall, while promising, the evidence is mixed, and more research is needed to fully understand how effective probiotics are against the flu.

Mild flu solution

I'm getting married in 4 months and was beside myself with the thought of battling terrible bloating in my wedding dress. I wish I would have found this 10 years ago instead of struggling with bloating and discomfort all this time. I've seen many doctors and spent considerably on pills, all to no avail. This product fixed what nothing else could. I'm also highly recommending Echinacea with Goldenseal, especially when you start feeling flu-like symptoms; it works wonders.

Reduced reflux symptoms

Very good. My husband suffered from severe reflux, but since taking these (one in the morning and one at night), he no longer requires prescription medication. He only occasionally needs a natural antacid now, whereas before, he relied on them constantly.

Runs more smoothly
After taking this for a month, I’ve noticed that my runny stomach and acid reflux have lessened significantly.

Immunity shield

Probiotics are crucial for our health. I’ve been alternating this product with Jarrow’s Women Probiotics and haven’t fallen ill for a long time. While my husband and others around me had a terrible flu, I remained completely fine. I believe the beneficial flora in my gut plays an essential role in maintaining my health.

Prevented flu persistence
This product works effectively. I notice a significant difference when I run out, and it takes time for my body to adjust back to normal. Fortunately, I haven’t suffered from a serious flu this year, and I hope this product contributed to that. Time will tell.

No complete solution
It definitely helped, but did not completely resolve the issue. You might need to consider antibiotics to eliminate pathogens first.

We investigated how probiotic supplements affect immunity in adults who get frequent colds. In our randomized, controlled trial, one group consumed a probiotic drink, while the other received a placebo for 12 weeks.
We observed that those taking probiotics had fewer upper respiratory infections and flu-like symptoms. Additionally, their immune markers, such as IFN-γ and sIgA, were significantly higher compared to the placebo group, showcasing the potential benefits of probiotics in enhancing immune response. However, we noted no notable differences in certain other immune factors. Overall, probiotics appear to be a safe and effective way to help mitigate respiratory infections.

Lactobacillus yogurt showed no flu benefit
In this randomized controlled trial, we examined how eating yogurt with Lactobacillus OLL1073R-1 affects flu prevention among 961 women healthcare workers. Participants either consumed the yogurt daily for 16 weeks or had no yogurt at all.
We found that both groups experienced similar flu incidence rates, meaning the yogurt didn’t help prevent influenza. However, we did see an increase in certain immune system markers after yogurt consumption.
Overall, this yogurt didn’t significantly reduce flu incidence or enhance immune cell activity, although it had some positive effects on IFN-γ production.
