Effects of Nasal Immune Probiotics (NVP-1703)

1. Improves runny nose and stuffy nose
2. Anti-allergy
3. Improves asthma and rhinitis

Hello, I am Jinny, a pharmacist.

These days, there are probably some people who are especially bothered by the air-conditioning blowing they see everywhere they go. People who suffer from runny noses and stuffy noses all year round will especially sympathize with this. This is because the cold air from the air conditioner worsens the condition of your nose.

Today, I would like to share good news with those who are experiencing these difficulties. We will look at data on NVP-1703, an individually approved probiotic raw material from the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety that has been recognized for its functionality as the first in Korea to ‘help improve nasal conditions caused by immune hypersensitivity reactions.’ Here, NVP-1703 refers to a complex of Bifidobacterium longum IM55 and Lactobacillus plantarum IM76.

1. Improves Runny Nose and Stuffy Nose

As academic reports continue to show that lactic acid bacteria have an effect on improving immunity, whether they can also play a role in improving autoimmune diseases, including allergies, has emerged as a topic of great interest.

Amid this interest from academia, in 2020, the results of a study on the effectiveness and safety of lactic acid bacteria NVP-1703 in improving perennial allergies was reported in . This study summarizes the effects of NVP-1703 on runny nose and nasal congestion as follows.

“Among the individual symptoms, the total score for runny nose decreased most noticeably. (Omitted) NVP-1703 treatment significantly reduced the total score for nasal congestion.”

2. Anti-Allergy

Along with COVID-19, the ‘cytokine storm’ phenomenon was a hot topic. Cytokines are essentially immune-regulating factors that help the human body respond to infections and maintain health. There are hundreds of types that perform different functions. In particular IL-10 is an anti-inflammatory cytokine, and if IL-10 action is inhibited, excessive inflammatory response may occur.

Therefore, many studies are being conducted on the relationship between abnormal effects of IL-10 and autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease.

The study introduced earlier also reported the effect of NVP-1703 on the level of IL-10 as follows.

"The improvement in clinical outcomes in the group administered NVP-1703 appears to be related to the improvement in the immunological aspects of anti-allergy. NVP-1703 administration significantly increased serum IL-10 levels. (Omitted) IL -10 is an important response regulatory cytokine required to control allergic inflammation."

3. Improves Asthma and Rhinitis

Thanks to these various benefits of ingestion, the lactic acid bacteria composition NVP-1703 was registered as a patented substance in Korea. Data officially submitted to the Korean Intellectual Property Office clearly states that Bifidobacterium longum IM55, Lactobacillus plantarum IM76, and a mixture of the two are effective in improving asthma and rhinitis.

Today, we briefly looked at the functions of NVP-1703 that have been verified in academia. This NVP-1703 is a dual-functional probiotic that helps not only nasal health but also intestinal health, and is recommended for those who want to kill two birds with one stone.

I hope you have a healthy day both physically and mentally. This was Jinny.
