00:00Probiotics are great for kids as well, potentially, not just adults, and more specifically, for

00:10kids with asthma and allergies.

00:14How about that?

00:16We talked about probiotics a couple days ago for anxiety and depression, and they were

00:20good.

00:21They're good for a lot of other stuff.

00:23But a recent randomized control trial involving 69 children with asthma showed that taking

00:32a probiotic candy compared to placebo reduced the incidence of respiratory infections by

00:3959%.

00:41That's a lot.

00:44Also reduced school absences and the usage of asthma medication.

00:49So, very neat.

00:50Now, the second trial we're going to talk about was a meta-analysis of mostly randomized

00:56control trials involving over 4,500 kids with allergies, common types of allergies.

01:03Taking a probiotic supplement reduced the symptoms of allergies by 22% compared to placebo.

01:11That gut-brain axis we talk about all the time going there and back has a major impact on

01:19hypersensitivities, right?

01:21Your body being overly sensitive to things, like in allergies, right?

01:25Allergic reactions.

01:26A major impact on immune function in general.

01:30And we're seeing more and more research for the effectiveness of a nice natural remedy,

01:35probiotics, for improving a wide array of health outcomes.

01:39That's what we got for you guys today.
