Feature Summary

Children's Multi-Probiotic provides a clinical dose of seven probiotic Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium species associated with healthy gastrointestinal function and the natural microbiome established during childhood. A healthy microbiota has been linked to a broad range of beneficial functions, including modulation of the immune system, increased response to vaccination, improved health of the cells lining the gastrointestinal tract and the GI barrier, and resistance to pathogenic bacterial species.1 Many of the beneficial effects of healthy microbiota have been attributed to their metabolites, such as short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) and bile acids, which have both local and systemic effects.2

The species in Children’s Multi-Probiotic have been shown to have a number of specific benefits. For example, Bifidobacterium longum subspecies infantis has been described as a “champion colonizer of the infant gut,” linked to decreased inflammation and greater vaccine response. In addition, multiple strains in Children’s Multi-Probiotic have been associated with reduced inflammation when given to preterm infants.3,4 A meta-analysis suggests that Lactobacillus fermentum may be the most effective species for reducing the severity of atopic dermatitis in children. Similarly, multiple species of Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium, particularly L. casei, reduce the risk for developing C. difficile-associated diarrhea following antibiotic use.5–7 Several large meta-analyses have also found a significant reduction in respiratory tract infections among children supplemented with probiotics.8,9
