CHICAGO, Jan. 12, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Jetson, creators of the world’s only seasonal probiotic, today announced the launch of re-formulated Immunity, the winter probiotic formula, specifically designed to boost the immune system and protect from illness. It uses scientifically studied bacterial strains clinically proven to strengthen immune response to viral respiratory illness and decrease inflammation, plus Vitamin C and Echinacea to supercharge the immune boosting power.
“For sure, this is the season to not take chances with the health of your immune system - Immune resiliency is critical for protection from bacteria, viruses, and other non-infectious exposures and we should do all we can,” said. Dr. Ilene Ruhoy, member of Jetson’s Gut Council. “Jetson’s Winter Probiotic, Immunity, has important probiotic strains to maintain gut membrane strength as well as critical vitamins and herbs for immune function. This probiotic, along with a healthy lifestyle, can help keep your immune system strong by ensuring gut integrity and motility and contributing to overall immune health.”
Jetson’s probiotics rotate seasonally, meaning they are constantly reformulated and informed by the latest scientific findings. This year’s version of Immunity contains:
- Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG – shown to have a 34% reduced risk of upper respiratory tract infections and a 43% reduced risk of RTI lasting longer than 3 days
- Bifidobacterium lactis (Bl-04) – studied to reduce the risk of upper respiratory tract viral infection and reduce the severity of sickness
- Vitamin C – known to contribute to immune defense
- Echinacea – studied as a way to shorten the duration and lessen the severity of colds
Immunity can be taken in conjunction with other Jetson probiotics. For example, combining Immunity and Mood would provide a diverse dose of bacterial strains - plus Vitamin C, Echinacea and Vitamin D3 and B12 with just two pills.
“As the flu ramps up and COVID-19 persists, doctors are urgently warning that this is not the year to roll the dice and get the flu,” said George Chao, Jetson CEO. “Since 70% of the immune system lives in the gut, improving gut health is more important now than ever.”
Jetson’s probiotics are scientifically-backed and fresher than other probiotic brands, which tend to feature single-strain bacteria and use generic/commodity strains. Jetson also boasts the following unique differences:
- More specialized strains: a year’s worth of Jetson’s seasonal probiotics provides 20 strains, which is above and beyond the one or two strains offered by market leaders.
- Better gut absorption: Jetson’s strains are fresher and a proprietary capsule is specifically designed to survive stomach acid during digestion.
- Seasonal formulations address the body’s unique needs throughout the year.
- No-fuss monthly subscription option ensures you never forget to take care of your gut.
- Transparency: Jetson discloses the specific strains used in each of its formulas. Visit wearejetson.com to learn more about the probiotic strains included in Immunity.
