Probiotic supplement for immune health in teachers with frequent colds
Part of Immune system & allergy, Infections clinical trials.
This study tests whether a probiotic supplement (a type of 'good bacteria') can help boost your immune system and reduce how often you get colds. If you are a teacher who frequently catches colds, this might help you feel better and miss fewer work days.
