OptiBac Probiotics For Babies & Children

This supplement contains a combination of three strains of friendly bacteria that target different areas of the gut, with the addition of FOS, making this product naturally high in fibre. Suitable from birth onwards, these probiotics can help balance the good bacteria in the good and aid in digestion and immunity. Particularly suited for babies and children on antibiotics, those with digestive issues or skin problems such as eczema.

• Fructooligosaccharides (FOS); Filler: potato starch • Live cultures: Lactobacillus acidophilus Rosell-52, Bifidobacterium infantis Rosell-33, Bifidobacterium bifidum Rosell-71

Each sachet guarantees 3 billion micro-organisms + 0.75g FOS fibres.

Suitable for vegetarian diets.

Food supplement suitable for infants (from birth), children and adults with the following recommendations:

• Can easily be mixed with your child's favourite foods or drinks.
• Can be taken with formula milk when it is at room temperature, but not when warmed (as heat reduces the viability of natural bacteria).
• For breastfed babies, powder can be applied to nipple or clean finger for baby to suckle.
• Adults & children should ideally drink plenty of water during a course of live cultures.
• Best taken with a meal, preferably with breakfast.

Recommended amount:
