Boost Your Immune System with a Daily Supplement of DDS® Probiotics

DDS® Probiotics with the super strain Lactobacillus acidophilus DDS®-1 have been used by millions of consumers, worldwide, for digestive health and to boost immune functions since 1979.

• Enhances immune function by inducing production of immune cytokines.
  

• The super strain L. acidophilus DDS®-1 provides natural protection against harmful bacteria and viruses.

• Case studies and consumer feedback indicate that users of DDS® probiotics report fewer incidences of cold and flu
  

Studies of probiotics have shown:

• Reduction of incidence of cold and flu along with lessening of cold symptoms by probiotic users
  

• Study comparing users of a probiotic and vitamin supplement to placebo showed a 13.6% lower incidence of respiratory infections and a relative reduction of 19% in total influenza symptoms. Study concludes that taking a supplement of probiotics and vitamins during a period of at least three months may reduce the incidence and severity of symptoms in common cold viral infections
  

• Review of probiotic effect on boosting immunity concludes that effects are strain specific and the strain must be viable, resistant to acid and bile and able to colonize the human gut. Super strain Lactobacillus acidophilus DDS®-1 demonstrates these characteristics.
  

• Review of probiotics and immunity concludes that probiotic lactobacilli remain an attractive (and safe) non-pharmaceutical means of invoking immunoregulatory effects relevant to health improvement
