Antibiotic use can also lead to diarrhoea and other intestinal and bowel conditions. Studies have shown that friendly bacteria levels in the gut of an over 50-year-old is one thousandth of that of a younger adult . As elderly people have fewer friendly bacteria and more harmful bacteria, they experience a decline in immune function from decreased phagocytic and NK cell activity. 

Bifidobacterium lactis increases the number of bifidobacteria in the intestine of the elderly. A Meta-analysis of four clinical studies in healthy elderly show that Bifidobacterium lactis improves immune function by increasing phagocytic capacity and improving NK-cell activity. Bifidobacterium lactis also significantly improves colonic transit time.

Probiotics can support the body’s immune system, making it easier for seniors to fight off infections and diseases. They can also help with other conditions such as asthma, allergies, yeast infections, skin conditions and even mood disorders. It is considered the “Master Antioxidant” because it plays a central role in virtually all detoxification reactions, as well as helping to regenerate other dietary antioxidants such as vitamins C and E. 

MiBiotix Senior SN, increases the number of beneficial bifidobacteria in the gut, supports immune health, improves colonic transit time, helps maintain regularity bringing significant health benefits to the elderly and is safe to take every day.
