Probiotics for Babies

Probiotics for The Best of Starts

In early life, probiotics can help maintain a well-balanced, smooth, and timely evolution of baby-specific gut microbiota. They can help ensure a healthy gut function and integrity as well as a proper immune development. We have a large portfolio of scientifically substantiated solutions that are safe and efficient to support babies and young children gut health and natural defenses. We can design formulas with other health ingredients for babies like vitamin D or prebiotics, including human milk oligosaccharides (HMO), fructooligosaccharides (FOS) and inulin.

Our dedicated solutions include Probiokid®, Lacidofil®, Lafti® B94, which totals over 30 studies performed in infants and children to support gut health and natural defenses. Additional strains of interest specifically recommended by pediatricians are also available, ask us about L. rhamnosus GG, S. boulardii, L. reuteri Rosell®-444. Lallemand Health Solutions team has developed adapted dosage forms for babies, such as drops, but also soluble powder with carefully selected natural and yummy flavors.

Winter is coming! If only there were ways to support children natural defenses to help them go through this season in the best possible condition!

Baby is born. From that moment on, every action could have a lifelong consequence. The birth delivery mode, diet, direct and indirect environments all have impacts. A baby’s body is like a sponge, absorbing what the world has to offer. And this includes billions of microorganisms that will colonize it. From day one, baby’s immune response is activated to test what is accepted, and what is not. Early life external factors shape baby’s microbiota, impacting its immune system. Consequently, a baby’s diet has a great influence on its immune response during the first months of life. [Harper, 2021] Read more
