Scientific studies have shown that probiotics and synbiotics taken by both children and adults are clinically effective in reducing the severity and duration of upper respiratory tract infections (Wang et al., 2016). Ultimately, the positive impact of probiotics on the upper respiratory tract was confirmed in a meta-analysis conducted by Kanauchi et al. (2018). According to the review by the aforementioned team, several strains of lactic acid bacteria have the ability to alleviate and even prevent various viral infections. The main focus of this review was the anti-influenza activity of L. lactis JCM 5805, which can indirectly stimulate the synthesis of interferon, thereby limiting the replication of the virus and, consequently, its spread in the body. Moreover, previous studies suggest that daily consumption of fermented products containing L. casei (LcS-FM), L. paracasei N1115, and L. plantarum DR7 may reduce the risk of acute upper respiratory tract infections (colds and flu-like symptoms) by enhancing immunity through a mechanism that triggers natural immune defense involving T cells (Shida et al., 2017; Chong et al., 2019). A similar anti-infectious pattern was also observed in older patients, who, as part of clinical studies, were given a product containing only L. paracasei N1115. The L. paracasei N1115 strain enhanced natural immune defense supported by T cells, increasing the production of CD3+ cells compared to the control group (Pu et al., 2017).
Supports the Treatment of Respiratory Infections
Referring to the above scientific studies, we can state that EkoSynbiotyk contains the most important probiotic bacteria involved in supporting the treatment of respiratory infections, including Lactobacillus plantarum, L. casei, L. acidophilus, L. lactis, and Bifidobacterium bifidum. Therefore, EkoSynbiotyk appears to be an ideal synbiotic to use both for prophylactic purposes and during respiratory infections. Importantly, the strains in EkoSynbiotyk come from natural fermentation, which enhances their probiotic effects. Furthermore, EkoSynbiotyk contains approximately 4,000 metabolites with health-promoting properties. It is also worth noting that EkoSynbiotyk does not contain sweeteners, which are commonly found in most lyophilized probiotics.
