Probiotics are live bacteria and yeasts that balance the bacteria in your gut, keeping your digestive system functioning optimally and providing powerful benefits for your entire body and your brain.

If your gut lining breaks down, your immune system is exposed to microbes and bugs that will irritate your gut and lead to irritable bowel (bloating, cramps, diarrhoea, constipation and abdominal pain) and other problems throughout your body. Even if you do not have gut symptoms so many other diseases are effected by your imbalanced gut flora, (obesity, diabetes, heart disease, cancer, auto immune diseases, asthma, eczema, depression, etc).  When gut balance is out of sync the simple fact is you get sick. By introducing probiotics, you populate your gut with good bacteria. Probiotic supplementation has many beneficial effects on the immune system and intestinal function. They help protect us against Pathogens (bacteria, viruses and parasites) and they also help in the absorption of all our nutrients. They also assist in the production of enzymes and maintain healthy bowel movements.

For a century, probiotics have been used to treat IBS, colic and used in conjunction with taking antibiotics, but now they are being seen as a new frontier in medicine, revolutionising the supplement industry, as not only are they safe to use daily for adults and children,  they can now target a variety of specific conditions such as immunity, pregnancy, obesity, diabetes, heart disease, cancer, auto immune diseases, asthma, eczema and depression to name a few, and the list is getting longer every day.

Just as multivitamins are not created equal, nor are probiotics.  Probiotics are made up of different bacteria strains to treat varying conditions. CFUs, or colony forming units, indicate the number of active or live organisms in your probiotic. A good probiotic supplement can range between 1 billion and 10 billion CFUs for adults daily which will depend on the probiotic strain and the purpose for which it is being taken.

MiBiotix Kids Syrup acts as a shield, strengthening your child’s immune system and thus protecting them from all sorts of bugs on a daily basis.
