Abstract

There is evidence of the effect of probiotic intake on the immune system. However, the effect probiotics may have on the rate of aging is unknown. The aim of this study is to determine the effect of a probiotic blend on immunity, redox state, inflammation, and the rate of aging or biological age. A group of 10 men and 14 women took, daily for 2 months, a sachet with three probiotics (

Research summary

The study investigates the effects of a probiotic blend on immunity, inflammation, and biological age, which are relevant to the broader context of aging and longevity. However, the sample size is small, and the study is preliminary in nature, suggesting limited impact on the field. While it contributes to understanding the role of probiotics in aging, it does not provide significant new insights or breakthroughs that would advance the field substantially.
