Collectively referred to as the gut microbiome, this community of microorganisms is of such importance to our health and wellbeing that it is now considered akin to an additional organ of the body1. One way to support the health of the gut microbiome is through supplementation with probiotics, which are\u003cbr\u003edefined as ‘live microorganisms which, when administered in adequate amounts, confer a health benefit on the host’2.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProbiotics have numerous beneficial effects on the gut microbiome, such as inhibiting the growth and proliferation of pathogenic microorganisms, which helps to maintain microbial balance in favour of beneficial bacteria2. In the gut, probiotics can also improve gut barrier function (reducing intestinal permeability), enhance the local immune system, and produce a number of beneficial metabolites, such as short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), which exert both local and systemic effects2.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eACUTE RESPIRATORY TRACT INFECTIONS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAcute respiratory infections are one of the most commonly encountered conditions by GPs in Australia3. Common colds, which are an upper respiratory tract infection, are one of the most commonly occurring acute respiratory infections seen in adults. Common colds and are responsible for significant productivity and economic losses, due to their high prevalence among working-age adults4.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile it is increasingly recognised that the benefits of prescribing antibiotics for acute respiratory infections are often outweighed by potential harms - including concerns about rising antibiotic resistance - the rates of antibiotic prescribing for these conditions are 4-9 times as high as those recommended by evidence-based guidelines3.

Collectively referred to as the gut microbiome, this community of microorganisms is of such importance to our health and wellbeing that it is now considered akin to an additional organ of the body1. One way to support the health of the gut microbiome is through supplementation with probiotics, which are\u003cbr\u003edefined as ‘live microorganisms which, when administered in adequate amounts, confer a health benefit on the host’2.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProbiotics have numerous beneficial effects on the gut microbiome, such as inhibiting the growth and proliferation of pathogenic microorganisms, which helps to maintain microbial balance in favour of beneficial bacteria2. In the gut, probiotics can also improve gut barrier function (reducing intestinal permeability), enhance the local immune system, and produce a number of beneficial metabolites, such as short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), which exert both local and systemic effects2.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eACUTE RESPIRATORY TRACT INFECTIONS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAcute respiratory infections are one of the most commonly encountered conditions by GPs in Australia3. Common colds, which are an upper respiratory tract infection, are one of the most commonly occurring acute respiratory infections seen in adults. Common colds and are responsible for significant productivity and economic losses, due to their high prevalence among working-age adults4.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile it is increasingly recognised that the benefits of prescribing antibiotics for acute respiratory infections are often outweighed by potential harms - including concerns about rising antibiotic resistance - the rates of antibiotic prescribing for these conditions are 4-9 times as high as those recommended by evidence-based guidelines3. As a result, there is great interest in the potential for therapeutic alternatives for the management – and prevention - of acute respiratory tract infections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2075\/8503\/files\/ActivatedProbioticsBiomeDailyProbiotic10_offRRPatHealthMastersActivatedProbioticsFigure2_600x600.png?v=1707106296\" alt=\"Activated Probiotics Biome Daily Probiotic 10% off RRP at HealthMasters Activated Probiotics Figure 2\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePROBIOTICS FOR ACUTE RESPIRATORY TRACT INFECTIONS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs probiotics are known to enhance the function of the immune system5, there has been a wealth of research investigating the effect of probiotic supplementation on the occurrence, duration and severity of common colds.
