Description
Children's Multi-Probiotic provides a clinical dose of seven Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium probiotic species associated with healthy gastrointestinal function and the natural microbiome established during childhood. A healthy microbiota has been linked to a wide range of beneficial functions, including modulation of the immune system, improved response to vaccination, improved health of cells lining the gastrointestinal tract and the gastrointestinal barrier, as well as resistance to pathogenic bacterial species. Many of the beneficial effects of a healthy microbiota have been attributed to its metabolites, such as short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) and bile acids, which have both local and systemic effects.
The species contained in Children's Multi-Probiotic have been shown to have a number of specific benefits. For example, Bifidobacterium longum subspecies infantis has been described as a “champion of infant gut colonization,” linked to decreased inflammation and improved response to vaccines. A meta-analysis suggests that Lactobacillus fermentum may be the most effective species in reducing the severity of atopic dermatitis in children. Similarly, several species of Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium, particularly L. casei, reduce the risk of developing C. difficile-associated diarrhea after antibiotic use. Several large meta-analyses have also found a significant reduction in respiratory tract infections in children supplemented with probiotics.
Dosage
Children 1 to 5 years old: ½ teaspoon (approximately 1 g) 1 to 3 times a day. Children 6 to 12 years old: ½ to 1 teaspoon 3 times a day. Can be mixed with water, juice or your favorite smoothie, or sprinkled on foods like cereal, fruit or yogurt, or used as directed by a health care practitioner.
