The first few years of life
The human microbiome (gut bacteria) is established at birth and throughout the first few years of life and it is now recognized that establishing a robust and balanced gut microbiome is vital to support immune, digestive and overall health throughout life.
By three years of age, the composition of the microbiome is fixed for life and founding a healthy balanced microbiome in the first few years of life is critical in supporting the development of healthy immune and digestive function.†
A diet that contains lots of vegetables and plant foods can help to support the development of a healthy microbiome, but around half of toddlers are considered to be fussy eaters and supplementing the diet may be helpful.
Developed specifically for toddlers
ProVen Probiotics Toddler Probiotic with Multivitamins has been developed specifically for toddlers from one to four years of age to help support the development of the microbiome and to supplement the diet. It contains the Lab4B group of four strains of probiotic bacteria, which naturally form part of the microflora population of infants and have been shown to be completely safe and to help reduce the incidence of allergy in babies and children.*
The product also contains the 13 essential vitamins, including vitamin D for normal growth and development of bone and vitamins A, B6, B12, C and D and folic acid, which all contribute to the normal function of the immune system.
ProVen Probiotics Toddler Probiotic with Multivitamins also contains prebiotics FOS (from fruit and vegetables) and GOS (which naturally forms part of breast milk). These prebiotics provide food for the probiotic bacteria to help them multiply and colonize the digestive system.
If you are looking for a probiotic supplement that does not include the additional vitamins, our ProVen Probiotics for Babies is the right product for you and can be used from birth to three years of age.
