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.

No colds or flus
No more sickness! Although they did not arrive cold or refrigerated, these have significantly boosted my health and immune system. My stomach health has improved, and I haven’t caught any colds or flus since starting these. I feel much stronger and have peace of mind when in public around sick individuals.

Recommended during flu
Rate AAA+ I've been using the Now brand -10, 100 billion whenever I feel I may need more than their 50 billion product. I normally take their 50 billion, but during cold and flu season, I prefer to mix it up with this 100 billion. This product never upsets my stomach and works well with other supplements I take regularly. I always ensure to have both strengths on hand. I highly recommend this product to family and friends.
