Udo's Choice - Children's Blend Microbiotics - 60 Capsules

Children's Blend Microbiotics is formulated with a viable count of eight specially chosen bacterial strains especially beneficial for a child’s healthy intestinal flora.

What are Microbiotics?

Microbiotics are the beneficial, friendly bacteria that occur throughout the digestive tract. Poor eating habits, chlorinated drinking water, stress and disease and the use of antibiotics in food production as well as in medical treatments can wreak havoc in the gastrointestinal tract by destroying good bacteria and allowing undesirable bacteria to multiply. Why do we need Microbiotics? When the ratio of good bacteria to bad is lowered, problems begin to arise such as excessive gas, bloating, intestinal toxicity, constipation and poor absorption of nutrients. Whilst it is true that non-beneficial bacteria are naturally occurring in the intestinal tract problems begin when their growth goes unchecked. Microbiotics play an especially important role in keeping in check the pathogenic bacteria that cause disease.

A healthy lower intestine should contain at least 85% friendly bacteria to prevent the over colonisation of disease causing micro organisms like E.coli and Salmonella.

A child's healthy microflora will closely resemble that of an adult but due to their smaller size children need much smaller quantities of the same bacteria. The specific strains used in Children's Blend have been specially chosen for their value to children's health and have been formulated to the viable count appropriate for children.

Directions for use:

Consume 1 to 3 capsules per day after eating to help build up good intestinal flora.
