Who should use vivaIMMUNE?
vivaIMMUNE is ideal for individuals seeking to enhance their immune function, particularly those prone to allergic reactions or frequent infections. It’s also beneficial for maintaining a balanced gut microbiome, which is crucial for overall health.

Ingredients:
Blend combines Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis 1 billion CFU (BB12), Lactobacillus paracasei subsp. paracasei 1 billion CFU, and Lactobacillus fermentum 1 billion CFU, three strains extensively studied for their roles in modulating immune responses, reducing allergic reactions, and maintaining a healthy gut environment.

Directions:
Adult - Take 1 capsule, once daily, with water, or as directed by your health professional.

Immune Modulation and Allergy Reduction:
Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis BB12 has been shown to exert significant immunomodulatory effects. In a randomized controlled trial, BB12 significantly reduced symptoms of allergic rhinitis in children, highlighting its role in decreasing allergic signs and symptoms. Additionally, BB12 is associated with increased production of interleukin (IL)-10, an anti-inflammatory cytokine crucial for immune regulation and promoting tolerance to allergens [1][2].

Enhanced Immune Responses:
Lactobacillus paracasei subsp. paracasei is known for its ability to enhance specific adaptive immune responses. Research indicates that this strain interacts with antigen-presenting cells, leading to increased antibody production and a more robust immune response to pathogens [3][4].

Gut Health and Mucosal Immunity:
Lactobacillus fermentum plays a vital role in supporting gut health by enhancing mucosal immunity. This strain increases levels of immunoglobulin A (IgA) in the gut, essential for protecting mucosal surfaces from pathogens. Moreover, L. fermentum is associated with the inhibition of pathogenic bacteria, reducing the risk of infections and promoting a healthy gut environment [5]
