The combined study results showed that the consumption of B-GOS (Bimuno) produced a very positive effect on both gut microbiota and the immune systems of the elderly. In the elderly, both the immune system and the gut microbiota weaken and deteriorate with age. Reversing those changes in gut microbiota can therefore support the immune system and boost gut health. The results are also applicable to other groups that are affected by immune system deterioration, including those that have used antibiotics, or experienced high levels of stress.
"Whilst advances in global healthcare have led to increased life expectancy, this in turn has led to an increase in the elderly population, one that is vulnerable to a range of health related disorders. Increasing the effectiveness of the immune system in these individuals is therefore an important aid in counteracting the health concerns they can face," said Graham Waters, CEO of Clasado. "This trial is part of a wider program of clinical research in which we are currently engaged, investigating the central role of the gut in a range of health concerns. By investigating the axes between the gut, the brain, and the immune system, Clasado hopes to contribute to future options for patients with under-served medical needs."
