Enprocal is a high-protein micro-nutrient rich formulated supplementary food designed to meet the nutritional needs of the frail elderly and be delivered to them in every day foods. We studied the potential of Enprocal to improve gut and immune health using simple and robust bioassays for gut ce...
If you have done some reading on the immune system lately, you know that immunity involves a complex network of specialized cells and organs that evolved to defend the body against attacks by foreign invaders such as bacteria, viruses, fungi and other parasites.WJ Keller...
The microbes that live in your gut (microbiome) play an important part in maintaining your immune system and your overall health. Eating the right foods for your microbiome may help to support your immune system and overall health. Your immune system protects you against viruses like coronavirus,...
The administration of probiotics and prebiotics has been explored as a strategy to modulate the gut microbiota and enhance immune function. Probiotics, live microorganisms that confer health benefits, have been shown to improve gut barrier integrity, reduce inflammation, and enhance pathogen defence (Hil...
They can make your immune system stronger. They may boost gastrointestinal health, too, especially if you have something like irritable bowel syndrome.

Understanding how our diet and nutritional status influence the composition and dynamic operations of our gut microbial communities, and the innate and adaptive arms of our immune system, represents an area of scientific need, opportunity and challenge. The insights gleaned should help to address ...
Improving broiler gut health involves a combined focus of the structural integrity of the intestine, the healthy balance of microflora and the status of the immune system. Each of these elements are interconnected. Intestinal Integrity—A Barrier of Protection Intestinal integrity is all about ...
