Children who consumed LACTOGG®’s probiotic strain when they received the rotavirus vaccine produced
more antibodies from the vaccine compared to those who did not take the probiotic.
Similarly, co-administration of GG probiotic with oral polio vaccine or influenza vaccine in adults resulted in more of the vaccinated people producing antibodies.
These studies show that GG probiotic does indeed positively stimulate our immunity.
