How probiotics can help children

-

The good bacteria that live inside us are an important part of regulating our health. When the level of good bacteria changes, say due to a round of antibiotic­s, the body needs probiotics to replace that loss.

Probiotics are believed to help improve stomach health by relieving constipati­on, flatulence and diarrhea. They are also said to aid in improving a person’s overall good health.

Probiotics are live microorgan­isms that help maintain the balance of good and bad bacteria in the digestive tract. It works like this: A human digestive tract has about 100 trillion healthy bacteria. Bacteria aid in digestion and help the body defend itself against illness. Thus, probiotics can improve immunity and help protect you from common colds and flu.

Mothers are very curious about probiotics because they are being touted as a good product for children and are present in some drinks and food supplement­s.

Children can get probiotics from eating yogurt and beverages that contain probiotics. The amount and quality of probiotics in these food and beverages may not be enough though.

Erceflora ProbiBears is a yummy tummy supplement with the combined 2-in-1 Probio-Booster of not just lactobacil­lus acidophilu­s, but also bifidobact­erium lactis, good bacteria that help prevent gut problems such as diarrhea, upset stomach and other digestive illnesses. These yummy chewable bears keep your child’s tummy happy and healthy in a delicious and fun way.

Lactobacil­lus is good bacteria present in a lot of food. A study has shown that Lactobacil­lus is an effective treatment against infant colic and even helps improve immunity.

Bifidobact­erium helps with other digestive issues such as bloating and flatulence.

From the makers of the world’s No. 1 probiotic, Erceflora ProbiBears is the two-in-one probiotic supplement (lactobacil­lus and bifidobact­erium) that will help improve your child’s digestion.
