Science and PROBIOTICS


Probiotics are often called "good bacteria" It promotes a healthy gut. They help the digestive system recuperate after children have been treated with antibiotics by restoring the good bacteria that were destroyed by medication. They can also be used to offset the side effects from antibiotics like diarrhea and gas. They also increase the absorption of nutrients in food. Since probiotics help prevent intestinal infection, the body is more likely to absorb more and better nutrients needed for normal growth.

Be aware, research said probiotics help prevent bowel condition, protect kids against allergies and reduce the risk of colon cancer. Some foods like growing up milk are fortified with probiotics as healthy nutritional ingredients.
