Kids tend to
have a higher risk of getting digestive health-related diseases such as
diarrhea and constipation from harmful bacteria. A stomachache isn’t only
uncomfortable; it alters the child’s mood and his or her attitude for the day.
There is nothing
worse than having your child get sick with painful tummy problems. Right? As a parent, this
definitely causes emotional stress because we don’t want to see our kid
experiencing any kind of discomfort.
What are probiotics,
which have been showing up in a lot of kids’ products lately? As a mom, you
want to know what probiotics are and which one to choose for your child.
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 illness2. Thus, probiotics can aid with immunity and help protect
you from common colds and flu.
Every person, child
or adult, needs a balance of good bacteria in the body. However, this balance
is easily upset by a number of factors such as a poor diet, stress orby taking antibiotics
and other medication.
Children can get
probiotics from eating yogurt and beverages that contain probiotics. However,
the amount and quality of probiotics in those food and beverages may not be
enough.
It’s the delicious and
healthy way to strengthen your child’s tummy in yummy chewable bears!
Lactobacillus is good bacteria that are present in a lot
of food. A study has shown that Lactobacillus
was an effective treatment against infant colic and even helped improve immunity.
Bifidobacterium, on the other hand,
helps ease digestive issues such as bloating and flatulence. It also has a
longer shelf life4.
