Danisco's probiotic cultures give relief in allergy study

摘要

Danisco and Turku University are behind the first study to demonstrate that dietary supplementation with probiotic cultures may relieve the symptoms of birch pollen allergy.rnPublished in the World Journal of Gastroenterology, the study was performed by leading researchers in the area of allergy and probiotics from Turku University Hospital and Turku University in collaboration with Danisco Health & Nutrition in Finland.rnA daily dose of two documented probiotic cultures, combined at a specific ratio, reduced the inflammatory response in the nasal mucus membranes to birch pollen and produced indications that respiratory symptoms, such as a runny nose and nasal blocking, were alleviated by approximately 20% each.
