We examined how Lactobacillus acidophilus could help reduce cold and flu-like symptoms in young children during the winter months. In this well-structured study, 326 children aged 3 to 5 participated. They were randomly assigned to one of three groups: one received a placebo, while the others were given either Lactobacillus acidophilus alone or in combination with another probiotic, Bifidobacterium animalis subsp lactis.
Over a period of six months, the children in both probiotic groups reported significantly fewer symptoms and shorter durations of ailments compared to those on the placebo. For instance, the incidence of fever dropped by 53% to 73%, while coughing and rhinorrhea (a runny nose) also saw impressive reductions. Children taking probiotics needed antibiotics much less often and missed fewer days of childcare due to illness.
Overall, this study suggests that incorporating daily Lactobacillus acidophilus into children's diets can be an effective approach to bolster their health during flu season. It shows promise as a safe and helpful way to reduce common winter illnesses in young kids.

Buy this TODAY if you have a yeast infection. I stumbled across this product one night while desperately seeking a 'cure' for yet another yeast infection caused by hormones. My doctor suggested trying different kinds of acidophilus, and this product, along with the pills, has genuinely changed my life. I went from struggling with a yeast infection EVERY MONTH for six years—despite various diets, Diflucan, and creams—to not having a single one in the past four months since taking this daily. Initially, I took higher doses but now follow the bottle's recommendation. Although the higher doses caused some discomfort, I eventually adjusted to a suitable regimen. If you face similar challenges, you must try this. It's the best value I've found!

Probiotics help flu

Excellent product! Before using this product or hearing about probiotics, I suffered from flu-like symptoms after exercising. Initially, I didn't connect the two as I believed working out was healthy. After rigorous workouts, I would fall ill the next day. I eventually found others online sharing this issue, stating that probiotics may help. After trying Enzymatic Therapy Acidophilus Pearls, I saw improvement in many of my health issues, including symptoms that felt flu-like post-exercise. Now, I feel more energetic and healthier while working out daily without falling sick. I wholeheartedly recommend it!

Effective acid relief

No more stomach pain. I used to rely on Zantac or Tagamet almost daily while suffering from an acid stomach, but since I started taking this every morning, I haven't needed anything else. I strongly recommend this to anyone with ongoing discomfort that doesn’t require a doctor's visit. Stomach pain can indicate serious health issues—reflux might lead to oesophageal cancer, according to some articles I’ve read. This isn't a pain killer, so I believe it isn't hiding more serious problems. It’s tiny, easy to consume, and more effective than other products I've tried.

Best probiotic ever. I had been on acid reflux medications for years until a friend recommended Pearls. I no longer experience digestive problems and am completely off medication. I highly recommend this product.

Constipation relief

GREAT! Wish I'd tried these years ago! After suffering from digestive issues like constipation, reflux, and bloating, I decided to try probiotics after an endoscopy revealed burns in my stomach from acid. Although I hesitated due to concerns probiotics might worsen my condition, I noticed significant improvement within two days of starting Pearls. I now visit the loo at least twice daily, and my bloating and nausea have diminished. While my reflux isn't completely resolved, it is much improved. I recommend Pearls highly, especially if you have constipation issues.
