Gut Works® provides key strains of live bacteria, namely Lactobacilli, Bifidobacterium and Streptococcus thermophilus, extensively researched for their role in modulating the immune system.12-19
These bacterial strains do this by strengthening the intestinal barrier, modulating the composition of bacteria in the gut and activating the right cells involved with immune responses, and providing an inhospitable environment for viruses and bacteria.9-12,16
Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium lactis reduce both the onset of a common cold and its associated characteristics. When combined with other strains, Lactobacilli is most effective and reduces fever by up to 70%. Research shows that incidents of fever, coughing and a streaming nose were reduced by 48%, and the incidence when taken alongside an antibiotic’s course was reduced by 84%.
Streptococcus thermophilus reduces the risk of recurrent upper respiratory tract infections. Studies suggest it may support the health of both ear and oral cavities, minimising infections that arise there.17-18
