Probiotics for children

Here comes the start of a new school year – and home come all those sniffles and snot! To ensure your children have the right kickstart back to school, free from illness, dose them up on OptiBac’s high-quality, well-researched probiotics For Babies and Children. They are clinically proven to boost children’s immunity to the extent that they get fewer infections and take less time off school – click here for the proof.

The types of natural bacteria (probiotics) that inhabit children’s intestines are very different from the types found in adults. So this natural supplement contains L. acidophilus with Bifidobacterium infantis and bifidum, the cultures that are dominant in healthy children from birth and during their early years. For children up to 12 years old, these probiotics provide a lovely immune boosting three billion live cultures per sachet.

They contain no added sugar, flavourings or colourings, so rest assured your child will only be receiving beneficial elements from these probiotics.

OptiBac have specially chosen probiotic strains that have been tested to survive stomach acidity and to reach the gut alive, targeting three different areas of the gut as opposed to just one for added efficacy. For Babies and Children also contains +0.75g of Fructooligosaccharides (FOS), a prebiotic that helps boost the action of  Bifidobacterium infantis and bifidum and is high in fibre to help your kids’ digestion.

Children who most need probiotics

Having an imbalance of good and bad bacteria in the gut can seriously damage children’s digestion and immunity. Probiotics are particularly recommended for:

  • formula-fed babies
  • children on antibiotics
  • babies delivered by Caesarean section
  • children with who come down with colds, coughs and bugs regularly
  • babies and children with digestive problems such as colic, diarrhoea, constipation and lactose intolerance
  • kids with allergies and skin irritations such as eczema

With this product you can ensure your child’s immunity stays on top form for them to have the strongest start to a new school year as possible.

For Babies and Children is on sale, along with the rest of the range of OptiBac probiotics, at our shop at The Natural Health Hub.
