OptiBac Probiotics Probio Start For your child's health

Pregnant and breastfeeding women can take OptiBac Probiotics For your child's health during their pregnancy and nursing periods to maintain healthy levels of the appropriate types of beneficial bacteria for child health. In the cases of vaginal birth, a newborn swallows what will become its first healthy intestinal microflora as it passes through the mother's birth canal. This is nature's way for mothers to inoculate their babies and provide them with a foundation of healthy bacteria for their future health. At the time of birth, if the mother has good levels of friendly bacteria, and the right types to support child health, these will be passed to the baby during birth! Many pregnant women take this OptiBac Probiotics formula during pregnancy for this purpose.Following birth, development of the infant's microflora is influenced by diet (breast milk / formula), environment, and medication (e.g. antibiotics). The natural development of bifidobacteria in infants is favoured by breast-feeding, and 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 your child's health while breastfeeding to help support their child's levels of friendly bacteria during this time.From 6 months onwards, introducing OptiBac Probiotics For your child's health into your child's diet supports the development of friendly probiotic bacteria promoting good digestive health and supporting natural immune defences. Medical research shows that a good balance of friendly bacteria helps support digestion, immunity and energy levels for all infants and children, in particular: a) formula fed infants, b) infants delivered by caesarean section, c) preterm (premature) infants (Caesarean babies and pre-term babies unfortunately do not receive the full benefits of healthy bacteria from the mother), d) infants and children with allergies and skin irritations such as eczema, e) infants and children with digestive problems such as colic, diarrhoea, constipation and lactose intolerance, and f) infants and young children during and after antibiotic therapy.The overuse or misuse of antibiotics in infants and children may result in unhealthy intestinal conditions as antibiotics deplete normal levels of intestinal bacteria. Unbalanced levels of bacteria can manifest in the form of allergies and digestive problems in children whereas healthy levels can contribute to their overall health and wellbeing.A healthy balance of friendly bacteria in the intestines provides specific enzymes needed in the digestion of particular substances, production of B complex vitamins and vitamin K, and improves the absorption and uptake of minerals and nutrients in the diet, including calcium which is important during the early years of growth.Introducing For your child's health into your child's diet supports the development of friendly probiotic bacteria promoting good digestive health and supporting natural immune defences.How To UseInfants 6 to 12 months: one sachet per day or as professionally directed.
