Objectives

Narrative objectives1

This study aims to examine changes in salivary immunoglobulin A (SIgA) levels and subjective health status when varying the intake frequency of Lactobacillus B240, in order to determine whether reducing the frequency of intake can still produce beneficial effects. By doing so, the study seeks to clarify the optimal intake method for athletes, thereby reducing both the financial burden and the burden of intake on the athletes.
