Heat and humidity affect probiotic bacterial strains to varying degrees. Some strains can become unstable over time if stored too long in a warm and humid environment. Certain bacterial strains in Flora from Innate Response and MegaFlora from MegaFood benefit from being kept in a dry and cool environment.
A new randomized double-blind study conducted in June 2012 showed that children with pollen allergies who received Lactobacillus Salivarius, a probiotic bacterial strain found in all Innate Response Flora products, experienced fewer symptoms related to pollen allergies over twelve weeks. Additionally, they were able to reduce their allergy medications compared to children who did not receive the probiotic strain.
