What are the benefits behind the probiotic supplement?

Probiotic has been shown to promote digestive health and support immune function, according to latest studies 80% of human’s entire immune system is located in digestive tract and digestive system is the second largest part of neurological system, it is known as our enteric nervous system and is located in the gut. This is why it is called our second brain Scientists have discovered a direct link between the brain and immune system, gut microbes. The proper specific –probiotic strains help to restore and support the child’s gut flora by delivering beneficial bacteria. These bacteria also help protect the stomach from bacteria overgrowth and produce vitamins, such as biotin (B-vitamin), which is involved in the synthesis of fatty acids required by our body.

What is the strain of bacteria?

Strains of bacteria describe variants within a species. So Escherichia coli is a bacterial species, but within that species, certain strains can be “good bacteria” (the ones living in our guts), while other strains are pathogenic and make us sick.

Why multiple strains are beneficial for child digestive health?

According to some studies certain group of strains are able to predominate and prevail better over potential pathogenic microorganisms in the digestive tract, also each strain has its own benefits, for example:
Bifidobacterium Breve is primarily beneficial for colon health (large intestine) and candida overgrowth, Lactobacillus acidophilus is a very resistant strain and helps in maintaining the intestinal flora, LACTOBACILLUS PLANTARUM supports immune system and cognitive function, so all together specific-strain probiotic formula provides maximum support to child’s health.

What’s the recommended dosage for kids?

Each product is different and you should look for recommended dosage on the label of your supplement, but you should ask your child’s pediatrician, because some kids with more severe GI issues, benefit from higher dosage of probiotics.
