This nutritional supplement is unique because it was specifically design for the National Covid Nutrition Intervention Study by the development committee in liaison with some of the UK’s best nutritionists, academic doctors and research scientists. It was then selected for the National Vaccine intervention study. More recently it was the chosen probiotic for the National Prostate Cancer Intervention Study. Here are some news coverage following the publications of the results in the International COVID Journal:

More background on the importance of our microbiome
Our bodies, especially the gut, have trillions of healthy probiotic bacteria, particularly in our gut, on our skin, in the lining of the airways. They are vital for healthy digestion, immunity and regulation of inflammation. Lifestyle factors such as lack of exercise, being overweight, eating excess sugar, alcohol and meat can cause overgrowth of the more unhealthy strains. Other factors such as viral illnesses, antibiotics, chemotherapy, radiotherapy or even simply travelling abroad, can upset the balance between these friendly bacteria and harmful bacteria.
Abnormal gut bacterial growth can lead to bloating, wind, colicky pains and diarrhoea, as well as general symptoms such as fatigue, and lack of motivation. There are an increasing number of chronic conditions which are now linked to abnormal bacterial flora such as arthritis, dementia, high cholesterol and osteoporosis (read more). There is now increasing evidence that abnormal flora in our lungs as well as gut could increase the risk of viral infections and allergies. The massive UK Kings app study reported in April 2021 that people who took probiotics and vitamin D had a lower risk of covid-19. Trials are ongoing across the world looking at the role of probiotics to reduce spread of covid among household contacts (See BMJ)
In situations where the natural balance between good and bad bacteria has been upset, a healthy probiotic supplement can help to restore this balance and is recommended in combination with healthy dietary changes… Read the evidence of how probiotics could potentially help our health
