Lactobacillus rhamnosus trial results
Effect of live and inactivated Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG on experimentally induced rhinovirus colds: randomised, double blind, placebo-controlled pilot trial.
Preliminary findings suggest potential
We aimed to understand how Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG influences common colds, particularly those caused by rhinovirus. In a carefully designed trial with 59 participants, we compared the effects of live and inactivated probiotics against a control group.

While the group receiving the live strain experienced fewer symptoms and infections, the differences were not significant. This study highlights a potential direction for larger research, confirming that while there may be some benefits, we need more robust studies to truly gauge the effectiveness of L. rhamnosus GG in fighting respiratory viral infections.

Probiotics showed limited impact
Specific probiotics and virological findings in symptomatic conscripts attending military service in Finland.
Low relevance due to mixed results.
We explored whether probiotics could help decrease the presence of respiratory viruses among symptomatic Finnish conscripts. In this randomized, double-blind study with 192 participants, we compared those taking Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG with a placebo group. While we found that overall, probiotics did not significantly reduce viral occurrences, there was a notable decrease in picornavirus presence after three months. This suggests that probiotics might hold potential against certain common cold viruses, yet more research is needed to understand their specific effects.

Good cold effect
Yeast infection and cold effects are very good. It took about four days after taking the medicine for the effects to last a month. I was delighted with the results, thanks to this medicine. If you need a lot of Lactobacillus, I recommend purchasing it for freezing.

Inflammation reduction
This product has been quite helpful for menopausal itching. After taking it, I noticed marked improvements. I opted out of prescribed treatments and, after a week, my examination showed no inflammation. I felt much more comfortable and recommend it to others with similar concerns.

Consistent cold relief
After two years of daily intake, I've noticed a substantial reduction in cold symptoms. I take one pill each morning, and the ingredient compatibility has been ideal for me.

Effective treatment
After eating, my discharge noticeably decreased. Originally, I experienced a lot of cold along with some unpleasant odour from vaginitis, but this has been effective. Even without intestinal lactobacillus in this product, it remains bearable, as I'm not taking it for bowel issues. I believe women concerned about quality would benefit from it.

Recommended for women
I have tried lactic acid bacteria before, but this is my first experience with female-specific strains. I often had cold symptoms and no itchiness from vaginitis, but as I continued taking this, my cold became clearer and the vaginitis symptoms significantly improved. I feel it’s crucial to take it regularly to avoid recurrent symptoms. When they were severe, I took two tablets instead of one. If I had known how effective it was, I would have bought it sooner. I highly recommend it!
