More about For babies & children

The types of natural bacteria that reside in an infants or childs intestines are very different from the types found in adulthood. Bifidobacterium infantis and Bifidobacterium bifidum are the dominant and most important beneficial cultures found in healthy infants and children during their early years; this product contains both of these bacteria, in strains which have been tested to survive stomach acidity and bile salts. This supplement contains a third type of natural bacteria, Lactobacillus acidophilus Rosell-52, which has been scientifically shown to survive stomach acidity and to reach the gut alive. At OptiBac Probiotics we appreciate the importance of using various species and strains of natural bacteria - these three strains will target different areas of the gut as opposed to just one. Fructooligosaccharides (FOS), makes this product naturally high in fibre.

Having an imbalance of good and bad bacteria in the gut is thought, by some, to be related to digestion and immunity for infants and children, in particular in: formula-fed babies, babies and children on antibiotics, babies delivered be Caesarean section, and babies & children with digestive problems such as colic, diarrhoea, constipation and lactose intolerance, as well as those with allergies and skin irritations such as eczema.

Sachets are enclosed in 3 layer laminated sachets for maximum protection against heat and humidity.

For mothers

Pregnant and nursing mothers can take For babies & children (For your childs health) during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

At the time of birth, a mother passes her natural bacteria to the baby during the birthing process. As the baby passes through the birth canal, it swallows bacteria from the mother, and this is thought to act as a natural booster for the childs immunity and general wellbeing. Pregnant women expecting a Cesearean birth may safely take OptiBac Probiotics For babies & children during pregnancy.

Following birth, the infants microflora is influenced by diet (breast milk or formula), environment, and medicines such as antibiotics. The natural development of Bifidobacteria in infants is favoured by breast-feeding; studies have found higher concentrations of Bifidobacterium infantis and Bifidobacterium bifidum in breast-fed infants as opposed to babies bottle-fed with formulas. Many nursing mothers take For babies & children while breastfeeding.
