Published: 28-Jul-2009

The study - Probiotic Effects on Cold and Influenza-Like Symptom Incidence and Duration in Children, demonstrated the benefits of HOWARU Protect

Danisco's HOWARU Protect probiotic formulation seems to provide a safe and effective means to enhance the body’s natural defense, and has been clinically shown to reduce the incidence and severity of cold and flu symptoms in children.

A recent study entitled “Probiotic Effects on Cold and Influenza-Like Symptom Incidence and Duration in Children”, demonstrated the benefits of HOWARU Protect probiotic combination of Lactobacillus acidophilus NCFM and Bifidobacterium lactis Bi-07, in maintaining immune health in children.

Reportedly, for six months, 326 children, aged three to five, were given supplements twice a day. One group received a single strain of Lactobacillus acidophilus NCFM, and another group received a combination of Lactobacillus acidophilus NCFM and Bifidobacterium lactis Bi-07. The third group received a placebo.

In comparision to the placebo group, the groups that received the single and combination probiotic supplements reduced their fever incidence by 53% and 72.7%, respectively. Their coughs were reduced by 41.4% and 62.1% and their runny noses were lessened by 28.2% and 58.5%, respectively.

In addition to that, the duration and severity of cold and flu symptoms were also significantly reduced in the children receiving the probiotics, said the company.
