From the desk of Mayer Eisenstein MD,JD,MPH, August 2008
Athletes who took probiotic supplements suffered
fewer infections and recovered more quickly than
those who did not, in a study conducted by the
Australian Institute of Sport in Canberra and published
in the British Journal of Sports Medicine.
Researchers studied 20 top-level, long-distance
endurance runners for two months, assigning them to
take either a placebo or a supplement of the probiotic
bacterium Lactobacillus fermentum. During that time,
the athletes recorded any day on which they
experienced symptoms of winter illnesses, including
coughs and runny noses.
The researchers added together the total symptom
days of both groups, and found that while the placebo
group experience symptoms for a total of 72 days, the
probiotic group experience only 30 days' worth of
symptoms.
In addition, blood tests revealed that the athletes who
were taking probiotics had twice the levels of an
immune chemical known as interferon gamma as the
athletes in the placebo group.
