What are Microbiotics?

Microbiotics are the beneficial 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 benefical 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.

Benefits of Udo's Choice Infant Blend Microbiotics

• Ideal after C section - Babies pick up bifidobacteria, including B. infantis, B. bifidum and B. breve 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.
• Ideal to combine with formula feeding - 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.
• Provides Bifidobacterium infantis – the most important micro-organism in the large intestine of babies and toddlers.
• Facilitate healthy weight gain in infants– probiotics ensure the proper digestion and utilisation of food enabling proper growth.
• Supports the infant's immune system
• Supports the healthy absorption of minerals and the manufacture of important B vitamins – essential for the healthy development of children.
• Supports healthy digestion of proteins, carbohydrates and fats
• Ideal for travel - refrigeration ensures maximum potency and stability. However infant blend can be left unrefrigerated for short periods of time, making them convenient for holidays, especially important when travelling to foreign countries to support your child's beneficial microflora and helping to combat foreign micro-organisms that may be in the food and water.
• Ideal after antibiotics - antibiotics destroy both good and bad bacteria so it is important to replenish with a high count beneficial bacteria formula such as after a course of antibiotics.
