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:
