Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

An interventional, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study will be conducted to investigate the effect of a probiotic strain on the immune response in participants positive for SARS-CoV-2 infection.

The study duration will be 28 days, which includes 4 weeks product administration. Participants will be randomized assigned to one of the two study groups: the control group with placebo consumption and a probiotic consumption group.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Active Comparator: Probiotic: Lactobacillus salivarius + Vit D + Zinc

Lactobacillus strain during 28 days, approximately 1*10E9 colony forming unit (CFU) of L. salivarius in 1 capsule per day.

Dietary Supplement: Probiotic: Lactobacillus salivarius + Vit D + Zinc
A mixture of 1*10E9 colony forming unit (CFU) of Lactobacillus salivarius + Vit D + Zinc citrate in 1 capsule will be daily administrated during 28 days.

Placebo Comparator: Placebo

Placebo supplement in 1 capsule per day during 28 days.

Dietary Supplement: Placebo
Placebo in 1 capsule will be daily administrated during 28 days.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Concentration of specific IgM (Immunoglobulin M) and IgG (Immunoglobulin G) antibodies for the SARS-CoV-2 virus. [1 month]

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Levels (pg/ml) of pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory markers in blood serum. [1 month]

  2. Duration of the symptoms produced by the SARS-CoV-2 infection [1 month]

  3. Severity of symptoms produced during SARS-CoV-2 infection [1 month]

    Severity of symtoms will be analysed for fever (Tª>38ºC) and gastrointestinal symptons (Bristol scale).

  4. Percentage of participants with a negative result in the SARS-CoV-2 detection test by PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) at visit 2 [1 month]

  5. Percentage of participants with worsening of lower respiratory tract infections [1 month]
