METAGENICS ULTRA FLORA IMMUNE CONTROL** 30 CAPS

METAGENICS Ultra Flora Immune Control 30 VegeCaps

Clinical Benefits
– Regulate the immune system: Lactobacillus rhamnosus LGG and lactobacillus paracasei (LP-33) help to promote immune regulation by interacting with dendritic cells within the gut associated lymphoid tissue (GALT) stimulating the production of regulatory T cells and increasing production of regulatory cytokines such as IL-10 and TGF-beta.
– LGG also promotes a shift towards an enhanced anti-inflammatory response by a heightened secretion of anti-inflammatory cytokines and decreased secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines.
– LGG has bidirectional immunomodulatory effects – stimulatory when an increased response is needed and down-regulatory when attenuation is appropriate.6 20 billion CFU of LGG daily has been shown to reduce immune hyper-reactivity by strengthening gut mucosal barrier integrity.
– LP-33 modulates inflammation and immune reactions by interacting with these cells and, together with LGG, inducing development of regulatory T cells which can down regulate IgE, a Th2 cytokine involved in allergy. A double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled trial on 425 subjects with allergic rhinitis compared the effects of LP-33 or placebo over a five week period. The LP-33 group demonstrated significant improvements in their Rhinitis Quality Of Life (RQLQ) score, nasal and ocular symptoms
