We all know that probiotics are good for our gut. Along with the resident gut microbiome they can help with a number of gut functions. But what other parts of the body can benefit?
“Our observations indicate that gut microbes drive the production of a class of regulatory T cells that are constantly exiting the gut and act as sentries that sense damage at distant sites in the body and then act as emissaries to repair that damage.”
— Diane Mathis, professor of immunology in the Blavatnik Institute
Anecdotal evidence suggests that some probiotics can have an inhibitory effect on hay fever. This new research may point to a mechanism in the inhibition ofStreptococcus salivarius.
