Probiotics Boost Immune System and Nutrient Absorption, Animal Studies Say
Filed in archive Studies , Treatment on January 5, 2007
Probiotics are living microorganisms that, when added to foods or dietary supplements in sufficient numbers have been proven beneficial in more ways than one.
In two separate animal studies conducted by scientists from the Agricultural Research Service (ARS) (the U.S. Department of Agriculture's chief scientific research agency) found the supplementation of probiotics stimulates the immune system and improve nutrient absorption.
The probiotic was found to induce innate immune activity in the colon where the probiotic was in highest concentration.
...Preliminary results show better response to the infection--and improved nutrient absorption--in the group of pigs that were supplemented with the probiotic treatment prior to the infection."

Our body has capability to fight day to day attacks from Bacteria and Virus. When we get sick it means that our immunization has failed to do its work. There are ways and mean to improve immune response like exercise, fruits and vegetables. However, amount of toxins that we inhale it’s difficult to fight such amount of toxins. Natural supplement like Proleva is very important to improve our overall health. I have been using Proleva since 6 months. I have had very difficult time to cope with day to day stress and pollution. I was exhausted by half of the day. Since 6 months, I have had lots of energy and I was still active end of the day with extra hours of work, more over all my common day to day sickness like cold and flu never turned back to me.
