Article Synopsis
  • The clinical study investigated the effects of LifeinU™ Bacillus subtilis CU1 (BSCU1) on immune responses in 88 participants across different age groups, aiming to understand how it might improve protection against infections.
  • Although BSCU1 did not significantly alter fecal sIgA levels, it positively impacted various markers of the innate immune system, especially in adults and the elderly, by increasing peripheral blood myeloid cells and CD69 expression on monocytes.
