Fewer COVID cases and a return to a freer social life

We all know how the COVID pandemic affected many industries worldwide. One of the biggest problems, however, is people's physical and mental health.

Whether we went through the illness relatively mildly or more severely, a large part of our lives was tied to drastically limited social contacts and activities. Most countries in Europe and beyond have lifted some of the strictest measures, such as mandatory vaccination or mandatory masks in public places.

Even so, we are constantly exposed to our environment and interact with various microorganisms and antigens. Many of them are undesirable from a health point of view.

As we enter the cold and flu season, our immune system weakens and these risks increase. It is important for each of us to learn how to protect ourselves from harmful microorganisms. Besides the traditional, well-known measures, one of the most important methods recommended by health experts is supporting immunity.

There are a number of ways to help our body cope with the autumn season and the harmful influences it brings. Good nutrition and an active lifestyle are, of course, fundamental to good health. In our busy everyday lives, however, there is not always the time or opportunity to lead a full and healthy lifestyle. In such cases, food supplements come to the rescue.

The field of food supplements is huge. Before choosing a supplement, however, it is very important to get information from reliable sources and to consult dietitians and doctors who can guide our choice. It is important to read the ingredients of immunity-boosting products. Many products on the market contain the familiar vitamins and minerals, but in very small amounts with no proven effectiveness.

Once we know what we need, it is important to trust products that have been clinically tested. Various studies show that lactic acid bacteria stimulate the immune system.

This happens through the gut-associated lymphoid tissue. This tissue takes part in protecting the body from pathogens and in preventing reactions to ingested proteins.

Scientific data confirm that the interaction between probiotics and the cells of the intestinal wall can have a positive immunomodulatory effect. Long-term consumption of products containing lactobacilli has been shown to increase cytokine synthesis.

Cytokines are protein messengers produced by immune cells. They help regulate cell activation, growth and the anti-inflammatory processes of the immune system as a whole.

This shows how important it is to take quality probiotic products that have been scientifically studied for their effectiveness against pathogenic bacteria and that contain a high number of live cells able to survive in the gastrointestinal tract.

Besides eliminating disease-causing bacteria, taking probiotics has additional health benefits. They help limit inflammatory processes such as colitis, gastritis, Crohn's disease and others.

Lactobacilli of the species Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Lactobacillus plantarum have been reported by many research teams as among the best probiotics supporting the human body in the fight against various pathogens.

ProViotic Immuno Activator is an innovative, fully plant-based probiotic with Lactobacillus plantarum GLP3 with polypeptides and lipopolysaccharides. It was created to support the body under adverse conditions and against six of the most common causes of complications in common colds. This way, even with reduced immunity, unwanted consequences of contact with aggressive environmental factors can be avoided.

ProViotic Immuno Activator is suitable for children and adults as preparation for the coming cold season.
