According to a study in theFEMS Immunology & Medical Microbiology, eating probiotic cheese on a daily basis can help preserve and enhance the immune system. Because it is a carrier for probiotic bacteria, a population of elderly showed increase immunity to disease.
In the study, three different trials were run: phase I (two weeks, 15g/day) was breakfast consumption of a control cheese, phase II (four weeks 15g/day) was the intervention and participants consumed a similar cheese containing Danisco probiotics (109 CFU/dose), and phase III (four weeks) control cheese again.
The HOWARU® Rhamnosus (Lactobacillus rhamnosus HN001) and HOWARU® Dophilus (Lactobacillus acidophilus NCFM), enhanced cheese from the second phase increased phagocytic and Natural Killer cell activity and blood indicators of immune activity. This observation relates to the observed benefits of yogurt on immunity, vitamin D, and the bad effects of fatty foods that weaken the immune system.
