Can probiotics reduce respiratory infection?
Probiotics can help reduce the risk of respiratory tract infections. Probiotics contain good bacteria that can optimize your immune function. This is because at least 70% of our immune system is housed in the gut. Therefore, a healthy functioning gut with minimal inflammation reduces risk of infection. Regular use of high quality probiotics can reduce respiratory illnesses, antibiotic use, and absence from work and school.
