Probiotics For Kids
The human microbiome – the vast collection of microorganisms that inhabit our bodies, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and other microbes- lives on our skin, mouths, and gastrointestinal tract. The gut microbiome, in particular, plays a crucial role in maintaining our overall health and well-being thanks to these beneficial bacteria (also called probiotic bacteria). Since kids develop their microbiome in the womb and through early childhood, probiotics can be especially helpful in building a healthy microbiome by balancing the beneficial microorganisms in the body, particularly in the digestive tract.
probiotics are found naturally in fermented foods like yogurt, kefir, and sauerkraut and are also widely available as dietary supplements. These beneficial bacteria have a demonstrated ability to bolster digestive health, enhance the immune system, and improve overall health and well-being.
Benefits Of Using Probiotics For Kids
Promoting a healthy gut – Probiotics help maintain a balanced microbial environment in the digestive system, which is essential for overall digestive health. They can aid in the breakdown and absorption of nutrients, prevent the growth of harmful bacteria, and support a healthy immune system.
Reducing digestive issues – Probiotics effectively manage various digestive problems in children, such as diarrhea, antibiotic-associated diarrhea, constipation, and irritable bowel syndrome. They can also help regulate bowel movements, improve stool consistency, and alleviate discomfort associated with gastrointestinal issues.
Boosting the immune system – The gut is closely connected to the immune system, and probiotics can enhance immune function. They stimulate the production of antibodies, support the development of immune cells, and help maintain a balanced immune response. This can be particularly beneficial for children, as their immune systems are still developing.
Preventing and managing infections – Certain strains of probiotics have been found to reduce the risk of respiratory and gastrointestinal infections in children. By populating the gut with beneficial bacteria, probiotics can compete with harmful pathogens, prevent their colonization, and enhance the body's natural defence mechanisms.
Alleviating allergic conditions – Probiotics can significantly reduce the risk and severity of allergic diseases in children, such as eczema and allergic rhinitis. They can modulate the immune response and promote tolerance, potentially preventing the development of allergies and/or minimizing their symptoms.
Supporting overall health – Probiotics can contribute to general well-being by improving nutrient absorption, supporting brain health, and even modulating mood and behaviour. Research, in fact, has shown a direct link between gut health and mental health, indicating that probiotics may have a positive impact on children's cognitive function and emotional well-being.
Kids Probiotic Supplements
The research community has extensively studied probiotics in children in all sorts of applications. As such, it should come as no surprise that kid's probiotic supplements are so widely available in delivery formats to suit different preferences and age groups. The most common forms of kids' probiotics include:
Chewable Tablets: These are designed to be chewed and are often available in kid-friendly flavours. They are easy to consume and usually contain a specific dose of probiotics.
Gummies: These are popular for kids because they resemble candy or fruit snacks. They are typically flavoured and may come in different shapes and colours.
Powder: Some kids' probiotics are offered in powder form, which can conveniently be mixed with water, milk, yogurt, or other foods to make consumption easier. This form is often preferred for infants and young children.
Liquid Drops: These are suitable for infants and young children who cannot chew or swallow solid forms. The drops can be added to breast milk, formula, or other liquids.
Dissolvable Strips: These are thin strips that dissolve in the mouth. They are easy to consume and do not require chewing or swallowing.
While kids' probiotics typically range in potency from 1 billion CFUs (Colony Forming Units) to 10 billion CFUs per dose, the appropriate probiotic amount for your child will vary depending on the specific product and his or her age.
