Probiotics, aka beneficial bacteria, are live microorganisms that increase the number of good bacteria already in the gut. These good bacteria help the body stay healthy and regulate the digestive system and fight harmful bacteria.

Prebiotics are types of non-digestible fibers that stimulate the growth of good bacteria in the gut.

Synbiotics are simply a combination of prebiotics and probiotics. Since prebiotics enhance the benefits of probiotics, think of synbiotics as a super dose of good, health-improving bacteria that help increase the efficacy of probiotics in the product.

Probiotics for babies help support your little one’s immune system and keep their digestive system running smoothly. They can help with occasional instances of irregular bowel movements and constipation. Probiotics can also provide aid in the development and maintenance of their metabolism and oral health (depending on the strain).

Probiotics have been shown safe for babies, toddlers, children and adults. We do, however, always recommend speaking with your healthcare provider before use.

When taking probiotics for specific instances of diarrhea or constipation, your child may notice an improvement in a few days. For support of overall digestive or immune health, it can take weeks to see valuable results. Make sure to always follow product labels or your healthcare provider’s advice.

Studies have shown that probiotics can be effective as a short-term solution to routine tummy troubles, but are often more effective when taken for an extended period. Stopping them will likely make your little one’s gut return to its pre-supplementation condition.
