Introduction: At the height of flu season, the usual reflex of reaching for antibiotics for quick relief continues to be observed. This blog aims to demystify the role of antibiotics in treating the flu and to present natural, effective alternatives for strengthening your immune health.

Gastroenteritis and enterocolitis are a common problem in summer. Acute diarrhoea and vomiting can cause serious discomfort and dehydration, and spoil our rest during the summer holidays and the children's school break.

After successful laboratory trials of the successful Bulgarian probiotic "ProViotic", together with Sofia University "Kliment Ohridski", a revolutionary food supplement has appeared on the market.

A young scientist has developed a new food supplement combining natural ingredients from traditional foods. The supplement is intended for people who care about a healthy lifestyle and can be part of a balanced diet.

The new product ProViotic Cardio, combining the action of a powerful natural antioxidant (resveratrol) and a Bulgarian probiotic bacterium (Lactobacillus plantarum GLP3), is being included in a study on patients at the Cardiology Clinic of the "Tsaritsa Yoanna-ISUL" University Hospital.

The newly opened Centre for Applied Research and Innovation at Sofia University gives 25 young scientists each semester the opportunity to create applied innovations in the fields of medicine and healthy nutrition.

Billions of bacteria live in the human body, most of which inhabit our gut and are essential for the proper functioning of the gastrointestinal tract. Our digestive system consists of around 80% beneficial and 20% pathogenic (disease-causing) bacteria. When the "bad" bacteria outnumber the "good" ones, we get sick.

A runny nose, a tight throat, headache and body aches: winter makes us particularly susceptible to colds and flu infections. On the other hand, we regularly read about flu medicines being withdrawn from the market because of serious side effects. Last but not least, vaccines put our bodies into a state of shock.

Young scientists are experimenting with traditional Bulgarian recipes and arriving at incredible discoveries! Their proving ground is called the "Centre for Applied Research and Innovation" at Sofia University.
