A specific strain for immunity and occasional stress
A greater proportion of healthy days in healthy adults
In a large recent clinical study conducted at the University of Florida [Langkamp-Henken 2015] in healthy but stressed students, B. bifidum Rosell®-71 was demonstrated to:
- Increase the proportion of healthy days
- Reduce the percentage of participants reporting more than one day of cold/flu-like symptoms
- Reduce the number of episodes
- Reduce the average duration of episodes by approximately a half day
Decreased self-reported occasional stress
In a secondary analysis from this study (Culpepper 2016), B. bifidum Rosell®-71:
- Had a positive effect on self-reported occasional stress scores
- Reduced occasional stressed-induced diarrhea symptoms
- Diminished the effect of occasional stress on lack of sleep: at fewer hours of sleep, participants reported lower stress levels
