About 70% of our immune cells are located in the gut, which means that a significant part of our immune system resides there. Probiotic medicines may contain special bacteria (e.g. Enterococcus faecalis) that have a positive effect on the defence mechanisms against recurrent upper and lower respiratory tract infections. Enterococcus faecalis (a bacterium that does not cause disease) supports the immune system and helps the mucous membranes in the nose and lungs to improve their defences. It strengthens the body's immune system and reduces the recurrence of inflammation of the sinuses and bronchia.
The intestine as the central control room of the immune system
Our immune system is confronted daily with viruses, bacteria or other pathogens that cause diseases. The intestine can offer support and train the immune system in this task. All mucous membranes are connected and react to each other. The intestine plays a key role and acts as a control centre. If the immune system is trained in the intestine, it can also increase the defence system in other mucous membranes (e.g. bronchial and nasal mucosa).
Training the immune system
Special immune cells form part of the defence system in the intestine. They react to foreign substances and trigger an immune response. They can be activated by feeding them special bacteria. The bacteria have a training function for the immune system in the intestine. They do not trigger diseases, but stimulate immune cells to produce antibodies. The blood and lymphatic system conveys these antibodies to the mucous membranes of other organs, where the antibodies from the defence cells support the immune system as the first line of defence against unwanted pathogens.
