Clinical Evidence of Featured StrainsBifidobacterium bifidum Bb-06 [1]

B. bifidum is proved to help reduce risk of cold & flu as well as increase recovery time.

A study with 581 academically stressed undergraduate students receive 3 billion cfu/day of probiotic L. helveticus, B. infantis, B. bifidum or placebo for 6 weeks. The results showed B. bifidum supplementation resulted in a greater proportion of healthy days and a lower percentage of students reporting a day of cold/flu.

Bifidobacterium lactis BL-04 [2]

B. lactis Bl-04 is effective in supporting the immune system and reduce risk of repiratory infection in a clinical trial.

A total of 465 participants (241 males; 224 females) were randomly divided into 3 groups. One group had 2 billion cfu of B. lactis BL-04 only; the second group had 5 billion cfu of L. acidophilus NCFM + B. lactis BI-07, and both groups were compared to placebo. A 5-month intervention showed that only the B. lactis BL-04 group had significantly lower risk of URTI by 27% (risk ratio of 0.73; p=0.02) compared to placebo. BL-04 also delayed the first onset of URTI by ~0.8 month.

Lactobacillus rhamnosus (Lr-32, HN001, GG)L. rhamnosus is part of normal human gut flora. Among many other benefits, L. rhamnosus is known to balance the immune system, as clinical trials have shown efficacy on prevention/recovery of infectious disease, allergies, and atopic dermatitis.

Lactobacillus rhamnosus HN001L. rhamnosus HN001 has been clinically shown to reduce risk of allergies (skin and respiratory systems) in children, as well as gestational diabetes in pregancy.

Eczema and Allergic sensitization: A 6-year RCT [3]

A double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial of 316 mothers and their infants (placebo, n=159; supplement, n=157). Pregnant mothers were supplemented daily from 5 weeks pre-term to 6 months post-term if breastfeeding. Infants were supplemented daily from birth until 2 years old.

At 2 years of age, the prevalence of eczema decreased by 49% (p=0.01) with supplementation. This effect persisted until 6 years of age with 44% lower prevalence (p=0.01).

In addition, L. rhamnosus HN001 showed a 31% decreased the prevalence of positive skin-prick tests (p=0.04), and 62 % less relative risk of rhinoconjunctivits (rhinitis and red eyes).

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) risk reduction [4]

In a RCT, pregnant women were randomized at 14-16 weeks of gestation to receive 6 billion of L. rhamnosus HN001 (n=212) or placebo (n=211) daily. At 24-30 weeks, GDM prevalence was significantly lower in the HN001 group, 2.1 % (CI=0.6-5.2), vs. 6.5 % (CI=3.5-10.9) in the placebo group (P=0.03). Significant association of lower GDM was reported in women aged ≥35 years (RR=0.31; CI=0.12-0.81, P=0.009) and those with a history of GDM (RR=0.00; CI=0.00-0.66, P=0.004).

Lactobacillus rhamnosus GGL. rhamnosus GG is by far the most studied probiotic strain. Studies have shown its effectiveness from general to serious GI/ repiratory/ dental infections, as well as reduce allergy and IBS in infants and children.

Gastrointestinal Health [5], [6], [7]

L. rhamnosus GG is known to be the most effective probiotic in reducing both severity and duration of acute onset infectious diarrhea (overall reduction 1.05 days). Several systemic review and meta-analysis studies also suggest a protective effect of L. rhamnosus GG against antibiotic associated diarrhea, preterm neonatal Candida, Clostridium difficile induced colitis, vancomycin-resistant enterococci, and improves abdominal pain in children with IBS (NNT=4).

Respiratory and Atopic Diseases PreventionIn additional to GI conditions, L. rhamnosus GG was effective in reducing the risk of respiratory tract infection in preterm infants and hospitalized children, as well as in protecting hospitalized patients and patients with cystic fibrosis against Pseudomonas aeruginosa pneumonia.Another area for L. rhamnosus GG application is in the pre- & post-natal period. Prenatal supplementation of L. rhamnosus GG was shown to promote a beneficial profile dominated by bifidobacteria in neonates. A RCT involving 105 infants fed standard infant formula supplemented with L. rhamnosus GG developed better.[8] Two meta-analyses provided best evidence for L. rhamnosus GG supplementation in mothers and infants in long-term prevention of atopic dermatitis.[9]

Oral HealthLast but not least, milk containing L. rhamnosus GG has been demonstrated to reduce dental caries and lower streptococcus mutans levels from dental plaque and saliva. [10]

Lactobacillus reuteri 1E1L. reuteri is helpful in reducing the time of crying in infantile colic and promote recovery in acute infectious diarrhea.

One meta-analysis of 3 RCTs on infantile colic (n=209) showed

Antibiotic Resistance Test & Genome Database

Bacteria including probiotics are capable of sharing their genetic materials (eg. plasmids) with each other; such nature could be problematic as the antibiotic resistant genes from probiotics can potentially be passed onto the pathogenic bacteria. Antibiotic resistance test ensures that the probiotic strains are sensitive to at least 3 commonly used antibiotics, especially the last-resort ones such as Vancomycin, and Carbapenems. To take the safety issue further, all probiotics should have their genomes assayed and registered with well-known genome databases so that their safety and efficacy can continue to be monitored.

“Human Strains” v.s. “Human Gut Anchoring Strains”

Humans are born sterile before they encounter a variety of bacteria from the surrounding environment. Therefore, even though “human strain” is one of the highly marketed features in probiotic formulas, there is no strain from human origin. Any strains of bacteria succeeded in colonizing in their host human become the “human strains”. Probiotics’ human-gut anchoring ability can actually be tested via their adhesion to human intestinal cell lines – HT-29 and Caco-2.

L. reuteri supplementation reduced risk of infant crying time at 14 and 21 days (NNT = 2). [11]

The other meta-analysis of 8 RCTs involving 1,229 children found that L. reuteri supplementation reduced the duration (25 hours) of acute infectious diarrhea and increased the cure rate on days 1 and 2. [12]

Bifidobacterium infantis Bi-26B. infantis is passed from mother to baby during vaginal birth and is considered a superior colonizer of infant gut due to its unique ability to digest oligosaccharides in the human milk.[13]

Naturally, B. infantis helps with proper metabolic and immune development of the infants. However, with the growing practice of C-section, avoidance of breastfeeding, and exposure to antibiotics in mother’s life, colonization of B. infantis has been largely eliminated in babies born today, which leads to dysbiosis and detrimental consequences in the baby’s life.

Preclinical data has shown that B. infantis has anti-inflammatory activity, and could decreases intestinal permeability in premature intestinal cells. In premature infants, B. infantis was found to decreases Enterobacteriaceae (e.g. Salmonella, E. coli, Klebsiella, and Shigella) and reduce the risk of necrotizing enterocolitis. Colonization with B. infantis is also associated with better weight gain, increased thymic index, and better response to vaccines.

In a phase I clinical trial, B. infantis supplement was safe and well-tolerated, and showed fewer and better formed stool in healthy term breastfed infants, compared to “frequent, watery” stool in the control group. [14]

Multiple clinical trials and a meta-analysis found B. infantis supplementation significantly relives many IBS symptoms (abdominal pain, gas/bloating, bowel dysfunction, etc), as well as normalization of inflammation marker. The effect on bloating/distension was more prominent with B. infantis in composite formula.[15,16, 17,18]

Saccharomyces boulardiiS. boulardii is the most studied yeast probiotic. Research has documented efficacy of S. boulardii for the treatment of acute gastroenteritis, especially in children, and for the prevention of antibiotic-associated diarrhea, both in adults and children. There is also evidence supporting the use of S. boulardii to increase the eradication rate of Helicobacter pylori and decrease antibiotic side effects. [19]

Other clinical utility for S. boulardii include improved weight gain and feeding tolerance in preterm infants [20], reduced bacterial translocation and inflammatory marker in HIV patients [21], as well as lowered coronary artery disease biomarker in patients with hypercholesterolemia. [22]

Yeast Probiotic vs. Yeast InfectionSome may have concern that taking yeast probiotic such as

S. boulardii might lead to Candida infection in otherwise healthy individuals has not been substantiated by clinical evidence. In fact, preclinical data showed inhibitory effect of S. boulardii on the ability to form filaments and biofilms of C. albicans [25]; S. boulardii could also reduce pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-8 expressed by C. albicans-infected intestinal cells.[26]

In a clinical study of preterm infants with low birth weight, prophylactic S. boulardii is as effective as nystatin for the prevention of fungal colonization and invasive infection. Moreover, S. boulardii reduce incidence and number of sepsis attacks significantly more than nystatin and showed better feeding intolerance.[27]

Why Single Strain S. boulardii?Although combination probiotics with S. boulardii are available on the market, existing clinical trials have been

utilizing single-strain preparation. Possible antagonism may exist between “the yeast & bacteria” and decrease therapeutic efficacy.[23] In a RCT on children with acute rotavirus diarrhea, significantly shortened duration of fever & diarrhea was seen with single-strain S. boulardii, but not with combination of S. boulardii + other probiotics.
