Description
Specifically adapted to the child’s microbiome √ Reduces abdominal contractions in infants. The microbiome is the collection of micro-organisms in the human digestive tract. It has three main roles: digesting food, protecting against external aggressors, and developing the immune system. HOW IS THE MICROBIOME FORMED AT BIRTH? An individual’s microbiome begins to form at birth, through contact with vaginal flora after a vaginal delivery, or through contact with environmental micro-organisms for those born by caesarean section. THE EVOLUTION OF THE MICROBIOME OVER A LIFETIME Under the influence of dietary diversification, genetics, hygiene levels, medical treatments received and the environment, the composition of the gut microbiome evolves qualitatively and quantitatively during the first years of life. As a result, in babies and young children, events such as a change in diet, taking antibiotics, a weakened immune system, an infection, physical or emotional stress, changes in lifestyle hygiene… can disrupt the still-immature gut microbiome and cause disorders such as colic, diarrhoea… Supplementation with lactic ferments suited to children can then prove necessary, and can help support the balance of the gut flora, help boost natural defences, help treat and prevent diarrhoea, or improve the absorption of certain nutrients. PROBIOTICS JUNIOR, PROBIOTICS ADAPTED TO THE CHILD'S MICROBIOME Probiotics Junior was developed from two strains of lactic ferments Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG and Lactobacillus reuteri , rigorously selected to optimally meet these criteria and the subject of numerous scientific publications. √ To act favourably on the body, lactic ferments must withstand storage conditions in the product and digestive juices after ingestion in order to colonise the intestine. √ Probiotics Junior meets these criteria thanks to patented technology.
