Probiotics against hay fever

Probiotics can possibly help to reduce hay fever. This is because the immune system is put back into balance by the probiotocs. British scientists published this conclusion in the magazine ‘Clinical and Experimental Allergy.

Drinking probiotic drinks everyday can change the immune system in such a manner that it has a weaker reaction to pollen. Lactobacillus casei was used in the study. This bacteria had a beneficial effect on the immune system by bringing it back in balance.

In the study the volunteers received a probiotic drink or similar drink without probiotics daily for a period of five months. The volunteers were then tested for allergic reactions during hay fever season. Those who had received the probiotic received a protective effect against hay fever.
