The role of friendly bacteria

and your child’s health

 The origin of digestive flora in newborn babies

 Did you know that before birth a baby’s intestines are sterile? Babies only acquire their intestinal microflora during natural labour by coming into contact with bacteria naturally occurring in their mothers.

However, by the time that your child has grown into a toddler and has started eating a varied diet, there are more than 400 species of bacteria inhibiting his/her digestive tract. Some of these have a symbiotic (mutually beneficial) relationship with man, while others are hostile and cause harm.

 Two major groups within the beneficial bacteria are:

                 Lactobacillus      -                residing in the small intestines, and

                 Bifidobacterium -                residing in the large intestines.

 These friendly bacteria have unique, health-promoting qualities. When their balance in the digestive tract is correct, they control the internal flora and contribute not only to healthy digestion, but also to the child’s overall well-being. Among the factors that cause a loss of this control and allow harmful bacteria, viruses and yeasts to multiply with detrimental effects, are:

Antibiotics  Incorrect diet
Constipation Diarrhoea
Compromised immune system Environmental pollution

  How will your child benefit from intestinal bacterial flora controlled by Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium?

bullet

 By producing organic acids such as lactic, acetic or formic acid, probiotic bacteria prevent infection with a variety of pathogenic bacteria, yeasts and viruses. If an infection already exists, probiotic preparations (biotherapeutics) will inhabit the growth of various pathogens.

bullet

By producing an enzyme that splits lactose (milk sugar), which is present in milk, probiotics help with the digestion of this sugar, reducing the possibility of lactose intolerance. Thus allowing your child to benefit from eating various dairy products.  

bullet

By stimulating the immune system of children, probiotics help them to fight numerous pathogenic microorganisms with which they come into contact and diminish the probability of developing a disease. This is particularly evident in the decrease of the number of colds and influenza among children regularly taking this supplement.  

bullet

By enhancing the absorption of nutrients, particularly of minerals such as calcium, manganese or iron, probiotics stimulate the growth and development of children.  

bullet

By suppressing some of the undesirable immune reactions, probiotics can help control some of the food allergies. They have also been reported to alleviate problems associated with asthma.  

 In addition, probiotic bacteria play on important role in:

bullet

normalizing bowel function by correcting constipation and diarrhoea

bullet

controlling the overgrowth of Candida albicans

bullet

decreasing flatulence and abdominal bloating

bullet

detoxifying/preventing the formation of carcinogens

bullet

preventing the formation of acne among teenagers

bullet

normalizing various inflammatory reactions of the intestinal epithelium. By maintaining healthy intestines, probiotics play a part in decreasing the chances of the development of serious disorders such as Crohn's disease or even colon cancer.

 Thus….

by maintaining the health of your child’s digestive tract, you will be laying the foundation of health in adulthood.
