The average child consumes a diet of highly processed, refined, high fat, high sugar, and low fiber foods that are often deficient in essential nutrients (vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids, etc.). This type of diet may lead to poor gastrointestinal and immune health. When you combine a poor diet with medications such as antibiotics, the natural balance of “healthy” bacteria becomes compromised. The gastrointestinal tract consists of over 100 trillion bacteria from about 500 different strains. Most of these bacteria are beneficial “healthy” bacteria that provide significant health benefits including suppressing the growth of harmful bacteria, helping support digestion and absorption of essential nutrients, maintaining the overall health of the intestinal tract and supporting healthy immune function. Our Children’s Acidophilus contains three of the best probiotic strains for children, in amounts that will help support and nurture healthy digestive and immune system function.† The strains in this formula have been developed by Danisco, a world leader in the research, development, and manufacturing of probiotics. Features Consists of three strains from Danisco, a world leader in probiotics; Lactobacillus acidophilus (La-14), Bifidobacterium lactis (Bl-04) and Lactobacillus salivarius (Ls-33). These strains are Bioenhanced Acid Resistant Strains (BEARS) which helps ensures survivability in both low (acid) and high (alkaline) pH environments. Probiotic strains are manufactured using a patented poly matrix preservation system to preserve and ensure stability. Delicious natural grape-flavored chewable tablet. Benefits The three probiotic strains in this formula have been carefully selected, as they havebeen shown to help support normal, healthy gastrointestinal and immune systemfunction in children.† The proprietary technology used by Danisco ensures the survival of the probiotics, even inthe harsh acid environment of the stomach, without the need for enteric coating. L.acidophilus (La-14) has been shown to help support the production of lactase enzyme thereby helping support the digestion of milk and other dairy products that contain lactose.† L.acidophilus also produces lactic acid, an acid that helps maintain a healthy intestinal tract. This strain also helps replenish probiotic bacteria in the intestinal tract after the use of antibiotics.† B. lactis (Bl-04) is effective at helping support intestinal health following antibiotic exposure and along with L. salivarius (Ls-33) helps support a normal, healthy inflammatory response within the intestinal tract.†
