A novel mixture of Bifidobacteria species taken as a pill was effective at alleviating several symptoms associated with post-acute COVID-19 syndrome (PACS), or long COVID, according to a Hong Kong study shared at the recent Digestive Disease Week conference in Chicago.
Shared as a poster presentation, the study abstract validates previous research demonstrating that COVID-19 infections—and potentially the mRNA vaccines—may be depleting our Bifidobacteria levels. Another possible explanation is that preexisting low levels of Bifidobacteria may cause worse or lingering cases of infection.
