- Powder format has been designed to be added to formula, water or other liquid after it has been heated
The bifidobacteria, including B. infantis, B. bifidum and B. breve, should represent the largest population of beneficial bacteria in babies, whose immune defences are not yet fully working. Babies pick up these friendly bacteria from their mothers during their passage through a clean and healthy birth canal. Studies show that B. infantis was found in approximately 60% of full-term newborns who were born vaginally and only 9% of babies born by caesarean section. Formula fed babies also have significant differences from breastfed babies in the composition of their gut microflora because the heat used to pasteurize formula kills all bacteria.
Intestinal Flora: A Complex and Diverse Universe
Lactobacillae are located throughout the digestive tract but are especially abundant in the small intestine. Some of the main human varieties are:
- Lactobacillus acidophilus
- Lactobacillus rhamnosus,
- Lactobacillus plantarum,
- Lactobacillus brevis
- Lactobacillus salivarius.
Bifidobacteria are located in the entire digestive tract but are especially abundant in the large intestine. The system's first inhabitants, these species evolve according to age, diminishing progressively towards the end of life. Some of the main varieties are: Bifidobacterium breve, Bifidobacterium infantis and Bifidobacterium longum in children, and Bifidobacterium bifidum and Bifidobacterium longum in adults.
Lactobacillae and bifidobacteria are the main probiotic groups found in the upper and lower intestine. They maintain a healthy balance of intestinal flora by producing organic compounds that increase the acidity of the intestine and inhibit the reproduction of many harmful bacteria. They also produce substances which act as natural antibiotics to kill undesirable microorganisms.
CAUTIONS:

Discontinue use and consult a health care practitioner if symptoms of digestive upset (e.g. diarrhea) occur, worsen, or persist beyond 3 days.
Do not use if you are experiencing nausea, fever, vomiting, bloody diarrhea or severe abdominal pain.
