Primary

Modulates T cells and eases rhinitis symptoms

Trials in Japan and elsewhere have watched seasonal rhinitis scores for sneezing, runny nose, and congestion fall. The mechanism points to helper T-cell type 1 and type 2 balance. People with seasonal pollen sensitivity and more clear morning nasal discharge more often match a respiratory-allergy feel. Morning discharge and sneeze scores correspond to this strain's observational endpoints more than bowel frequency does.

Primary

Itchy skin and an atopic tendency

The same immune axis also appears in atopic dermatitis and itchy red skin: lowering an excessive type 2 response helps reduce scratching and flushing. If itch and flushing rise and fall with pollen season, comparison is fairer after taking it through a whole season. Changes in skin-mucosal immunity most often show first as less seasonal red itch.
