CUHK Microbiome Immunity Formula Hastens Recovery of Novel Virus Patients and Offers Hope to Boost Immunity

2022-04-25

Novel virus patients who received the microbiome immunity formula achieved complete symptom resolution, reduced proinflammatory markers, had increased favourable bacteria; and developed neutralising antibody.

Using big data analysis and metagenomics derived from novel virus patients, researchers in CU Medicine have developed a unique oral microbiome formula that targets gut dysbiosis. Clinical data showed the recovery of novel virus patients who received the microbiome immunity formula outperformed those with standard care in many aspects. These include the achievement of complete symptom resolution; significant reduction of proinflammatory markers in their blood, increase in favourable bacteria in their stool and development of neutralising antibody.

The research team collected samples from 55 novel virus patients in Hong Kong from August to October 2020

55 novel virus patients are hospitalized

25 patients with novel virus who took the 28-day Microbiome Immunity Formula

In addition, 30 novel virus patients who did not take the Microbiome Immunity Formula

1. Symptoms: 100% of patients taking the formula completely disappeared after two weeks

Only half of the patients in the group without the formula achieved this effect

2. Antibodies: 90% of patients produce neutralizing antibodies within two weeks

Patients who took the formula were more effective in producing novel virus neutralizing antibodies (88% vs. 63%)

3. Inflammation index: The inflammation index dropped significantly after taking the Microbiome Immunity Formula

Eight immune markers in the blood, including inflammatory cytokines, were significantly reduced in patients taking the Microbiome Immunity formula. This reflects that the inflammation is under control and the condition is gradually improving.

4. Probiotics: The amount of probiotics increased by taking Microbiome Immunity Formula

Patients who took the formula increased the number of immune-boosting beneficial bacteria in the gut; patients who did not take the formula did not find this. This shows that the micro-ecological immunity formula can restore the balance of the imbalanced micro-ecology.
