Kids Chewable Probiotic (Age 2 and Up)

INGREDIENTS

INGREDIENTS:

Lactobacillus rhamnosus:

• Along with B. breve, and P. freudenreichii, may support higher seroconversion rates of Hib IgG at 6 months with vaccination. †
• Along with B. longum, may support increased hepatitis B vaccine IgG levels. †
• Modulates Th1- and Th2- immune response markers. †
• Supports intestinal epithelial homeostasis and modulation of cytokines in vitro. †
• Important in the normal maturation of an infant’s and child’s immune system. †
• Supports normal bowel function in children. †

Lactobacillus casei:

• May support higher number of rotavirus IgM secreting cells and higher seroconversion rates for rotavirus IgA 8d after vaccination. †
• Critical for the proper differentiation of immune dendritic cells as the infant’s immune system learns to distinguish between harmless antigens and toxins and undesirable microorganisms. †
• Increases the number of intestinal cells secreting IgA (gut immune system), supporting innate immune responses to immunological challenges. †
• Contains enzymes that facilitate and break down milk proteins and gluten. †
• Supports a healthy balance between the Th1 and Th2 parts of the immune system. †

Lactobacillus paracasei:

• May support higher diphtheria IgG levels at 6.5 and 12 months after vaccination. †
• Produces high amounts of L(+)-lactic acid that can be safely metabolized by infants, small children, and the most sensitive individual. †
• Excellent acid-tolerance in the stomach; highly resistant to pepsin and pancreatin.

Lactobacillus salivarius:

• Enhances calcium uptake by intestinal-like cells in culture.
• May beneficially modulate interleukin production and balance. †
• May work synergistically with B. breve to modulate interleukins. †

Bifidobacterium infantis:

• Along with B. bifidum, B. longum, and L. acidophilus, may support higher total IgG level response when supplementing 2 months pre-vaccination and 3 months post MMRV vaccination. †
• Found in infant and children intestinal tracts, rarely found in adults.
• Supports healthy bacterial balance in premature or low birth weight babies. †
• Supports cytokine balance.
• Promotes healthy microbiota and stool consistency in children. †

Bifidobacterium bifidum:

• Along with B. infantis, B. longum, and L. acidophilus, may support higher total IgG level response when supplementing 2 months pre-vaccination and 3 months post MMRV vaccination. †
• Suppresses total and allergen-specific IgE secretion. †
• Second most prominent species identified in breast-fed infants.
• Produces a suite of enzymes dedicated to the metabolism of human milk oligosaccharides (HMO). †
• May affect regulation of NF-KB signaling pathways, supporting healthy epithelial cells. †

Bifidobacterium longum:

• Along with B. infantis, B. bifidum, and L. acidophilus, may support higher total IgG level response when supplementing 2 months pre-vaccination and 3 months post MMRV vaccination. †
• Regulates the immune response to respiratory stimuli and inhibits neutrophil elastase, which is important to normal innate immune functions. †
• Often the dominant Bifido species found in humans.

Bifidobacterium breve:

• May promote healthy antibody response to an oral vaccine. †
• Along with L. rhamnosus, and P. freudenreichii, may support higher seroconversion rates of Hib IgG at 6 months with vaccination. †
• Promotes growth of B cells in Peyer’s patches in the ileum.
• Commonly found in the gut of neonates and breastfed infants.
