Bacteria That Helps In Promoting Healthy Gut Development In Babies

Were you aware that the initial 1,000 days from conception to a child’s second birthday provide a distinct opportunity to establish long-term well-being? The first quarter of life is exceptionally critical: a period when disruptions to the maturing gut microbiota have the most significant influence on the development of the immune system, and consequently, future health.

Optimal health originates in the intestines, and since 80% of your body’s defense system is situated there, it’s crucial to sustain a well-operating immune system. Your intestinal health depends on having a sufficient amount of beneficial bacteria in your system and a harmonious microbiota, as the beneficial microbes in your system help prep your immunity to combat unwelcome intruders like harmful bacteria and toxins.

Renowned UK dietary expert Rhiannon Lambert, who specializes in antenatal and postnatal nutrition, has teamed up with Colief® to elevate awareness on the significance of preserving your infant’s natural gut flora. “Promoting the natural establishment of our baby’s gut microbiome is extremely vital for their comprehensive health and immune response. Studies currently propose that the initial few months of a baby’s life are pivotal in terms of the equilibrium of gut bacteria, as the gut microbiome experiences the majority of its development before the age of 2 years.

“This is where factors such as nourishment and surroundings come into play, as they can encourage or disrupt this fragile equilibrium. It’s critical to support a varied diet throughout a child’s life, but particularly under the age of 2. In addition to a healthy well-rounded diet, you can utilize a supplement, like Colief® Multibiotic Drops. These drops incorporate live cultures that could assist in introducing and maintaining beneficial bacteria in your baby’s gastrointestinal system.”

Colief® Multibiotic Drops contain 1.1 billion live cultures of Lactobacillus rhamnosus, LGG®, one of the most extensively researched gut-friendly bacterial strains globally, coupled with Bifidobacterium infantis, which is scientifically validated to aid in cultivating a robust immune system. By shielding against harmful bacteria, bifidobacteria positively influence overall infant health and vitality.

Suitable for both breastfed and formula-fed infants from birth onwards, Colief® Multibiotic Drops are straightforward to utilize and only need to be administered once daily – either administered directly to your baby or mixed with breast milk, infant formula, regular milk, or yoghurt.
