The relationship between bacteria, digestive function and general health is complex, to say the least. One connection that is more apparent than others is the importance of the gut microbiome for a healthy and balanced immune system. Not only does the digestive tract lining act as the first line of defense against pathogenic microbes, but it is also home to many different types of immune cells and is an important regulator of these cells. Perhaps this is why certain probiotic strains have been proven to positively impact duration and intensity of cold and flu-like symptoms in adults. The key is that specific strains have unique properties and capabilities.

Lactobacillus acidophilus NCFM (La-NCFM), Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis (Bi-07) and Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis (BL-04) are three extremely well-studied probiotic strains with multiple human clinical trials individually, in combination together and with other unique probiotic strains.

One noteworthy trial compared the combination of La-NCFM and Bi-07 to a placebo intervention in children aged 3-5 years old for a period of 6 months to determine its effectiveness in preventing cold and flu symptoms. At the end of the study, it was found that the probiotic group had 73% reduced fever incidence, 62% reduced coughing incidence, 84% less use of antibiotics and 28% reduction in days absent from childcare. Another trial showed that Bifidobacterium lactis Bi-07 on its own has significantly improved the phagocytic activity of monocytes and granulocytes when compared to placebo after just 3 weeks. Finally, Bifido BL-04 has been shown independently to reduce the risk of upper respiratory tract infections in physically active adults by 27%, while also delaying the average time until illness by almost 1 month. Clearly, these probiotic strains offer some level of synergistic benefits when it comes to immune function in both children and adults.

Although these findings are significant, these strains are also capable of much more beyond their immune benefits. For example, La-NCFM has also been shown to reduce oral candida counts, increase bifidobacterium and lactobacillus counts, and improve irritable bowel syndrome markers on its own, while Bi-07 has effectively been shown to improve constipation and white blood cell function as a stand alone therapy.
