About the study
This study evaluates the effects of daily consumption of a yogurt on immune function and subjective health status in healthy adults in the United States. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either the active yogurt or a placebo once daily for 8 weeks. The study assesses immune function using salivary immunoglobulin A and other immune-related biomarkers. The study also evaluates cold-like symptoms, quality of life, gastrointestinal symptoms, stress, and sleep-related outcomes.
What is being tested
