Probiotics Support Immune Response in Adults

Howaru Protect, part of the DuPont Danisco range of probiotics, has released details on a human clinical trial in Australia showing that the positive immune response in children treated with probiotics could also be observed in adults. The study recruited 263 randomized healthy, physically active adults who received either Howaru Protect or a placebo for 150 days.Results showed a significant reduction in the number of days experiencing common cold- and flu-associated symptoms; a strong trend in the reduction of cold and flu medication use; and a trend toward the reduction rate of chest illness symptom episodes.
