DanActive: Help strengthen your body's defenses

1. Kids and DanActive

Several studies have been done in kids to demonstrate the effect of consuming DanActive™ on the incidence and severity of diarrhea. In addition, recent meta-analysis and clinical research studies have explored the impact of probiotics on antibiotic-associated diarrhea and on children’s acute infectious diarrhea.

2. Effect of DanActive on Students under Stress

The study known as "Brain over heating" elaborated with university students between 18 and 23 years old, had demonstrated that DanActive helped to improve the body’s production of defense cells in situation of intense intellectual stress during exams periods.

This study, done over 2 different periods of university exams, had shown that the daily consumption of DanActive has increased significantly the presence of lymphocytes and cells of type CD56. The latter, is one of the most important cells for the defense system of our body.

3. Seniors and DanActive

If the natural defenses of the gastrointestinal tract are weakened, a series of events can occur that may lead to an increased susceptibility to contracting infections and diseases. Studies have been done to demonstrate the effect of DanActive™ on resistance to infections, specifically in elderly people.

4. Exercise and defenses

During a very intense exercise effort (like competition sports) the defense response of the body is weakened. For example, there is a decrease in the number of NK cells the body produces during that time. A study done with athletes of high competition has shown that among the athletes who were drinking DanActive the decrease in NK cells due to the physical effort was significantly lower, and therefore their body defense response may be improved.
