Research shows that you have more bacterial cells in your body than you have human cells. Your gut is home to tens of trillions of bacteria¹ not to mention that 70 to 80 percent of your immune tissue is situated in your digestive tract.² There is a growing body of evidence documenting that probiotic bacteria have a beneficial effect through their ability to modulate the mucosal immune system. Research shows that probiotics influence multiple mechanisms in the immune and inflammatory response systems.³

Similarly, studies show that probiotics have the ability to modulate innate immune responses. Other studies support this claim and suggest that probiotics may serve as a potential approach for therapy.⁴ Thus, balancing your individual microbiome through proper diet and probiotic supplements may lead to an improvement in your symptoms.
