Who doesn't know the famous small bottle of milk fermented "gesture health of the morning" of a big French group. If numerous studies demonstrated virtues health of the dairy probiotique effectively that she contains (Lactobacillus Casei Defensis), of the unpublished works that underline other assets facing the flu at the seniors and the wintry infections at the child.
One doesn't present the famous Actimel anymore. Every bottle contains, in addition to the probiotiques that one finds in yogurt, a bacterium at the origin of his virtues: Â Lactobacillus Casei DN 114 001 (Lactobacillus Casei Defensis for the intimate). More than 40 studies have already been led to show the profits health of this probiotiques, mainly on the immune system and the natural defenses.
 ..Of the probiotiques to help the immune system
The interest that one carries to the probiotiques part of a simple report: Â 70% of the defenses of the organism are concentrated in the intestine. This gate is constituted thus of: The intestinal flora: Â she represents 100 000 billions of bacteria (of more than 1000 different species). We have 1,5 kilograms of bacteria thus in the stomach! The intestinal mucous membrane, that represents 200 m2; Of the actual immune system, of which 70% of cells are situated in the intestine.
But to bring some probiotiques in the food can he have an effect on the immune system and the defenses of the organism?
L. Casei Defensis to the gnarl
The Danone group led numerous studies thus to verify the properties of Actimel. What allowed them to put several results forward: A survey at 360 aged people in Italy showed that the length of the wintry infections decreased 20% (one day and half of less) with the consumption of 2 small bottles per day; some in vitro tests showed that L. Casei Defensis contributed to re-establish the integrity of the mucous membrane in case of infection by E. Coli; Another in vitro survey showed an inhibition of the adherence of the rotavirus responsible for the child's sharp diarrheas; A clinical survey on students in period exam showed that the probiotique could counter the deleterious effects of stress on the natural defenses.
 ..A probiotique against the infections of the winter
Today, the L. Casei Defensis has two new ropes therefore to his/her/its bow. The first concerns the common wintry infections at the child. More of 600 small Americans of 3 to 6 years have been enrolled in a survey multicentrique randomized in double blind. During 3 months, half drank the probiotique, the other a placebo. Result: Â a decrease of 19% of the common infections at those that took the L Casei Defensis, and a weaker consumption of medicines (especially antibiotic and anti-inflammatory). The same survey led in Russia on 600 children showed a meaningful decrease of the cases of rhinopharyngites.
 ..A bit of help against the flu
The other survey concerns the flu. This one touches 3 to 7 millions French every year, however the seniors are well on the more expositions. The randomized survey enrolled 86 people. One measured their rates of antibody against the flu 4 weeks before vaccinating them, then one managed them the vaccine. Of course, half drank in more in addition to the Actimel, the other receiving a placebo. And one could see that the probiotique dairy boostait meaningfully the rate of antibody at those that took of it, maximizing the protection thus against the virus. A second survey has been achieved at 222 people of more than 70 years, with the same protocol,: Â a blood test 4 weeks before the vaccination and a follow-up of 9 weeks after. The survey confirmed the rise of the antibodies with the consumption of the probiotique.
Of new studies that rather fall well with the approach of the cold weather. Remain that to drink the Actimel won't be of course sufficient to face the small pains of the winter: Â well to cover themselves, to have a good hygiene of life, to eat balanced and to vaccinate themselves if the case arises against the flu remains inescapable gestures!
