We keep hearing more and more people talking about Probiotics, but do you know what they are?

Probiotics are bacteria that help maintain the natural balance of organisms (microflora) in the intestines.

The active ingredient in Florastor Kids has been clinically tested for more than 50 years. Saccharomyces boulardii lyo (or S. boulardii) helps to eliminate or prevent diarrhea by promoting the growth of good microbiota, helping to remove pathogens from the intestines and neutralizing bacterial toxins.

Florastor Kids strengthens the digestive tract’s ability to help fight infection by:

• Releasing polyamines (organic compounds that stimulate cell growth) to help repair the mucous membranes of the intestinal walls
• Stimulating the production of immunoglobulins (proteins that function as antibodies
• Increasing short-chain fatty acids to help nutrient absorption

I recently received Florastor Kids Probiotics to try out.  I first let all the kids try out for taste factor.  We mixed in with a drink and no one could even notice it was there.  You can also mix it with soft foods like applesauce and it can even be added to infant formula if you use that.

Florastor Kids is unique because it can safely be given to babies and children ages two months and up! It is the only probiotic designed for children.

Florastor Kids can be used to help prevent and manage:

• Antibiotic-associated diarrhea (AAD)
• Acute gastroenteritis
• Traveler’s diarrhea
• Clostridium difficile (C. diff, which is a severe, possibly fatal infection of the colon that can occur after healthy microbiota are wiped out by the use of strong antibiotics, allowing a pathogenic bacteria to thrive; currently being seen more often, as C. diff is on the rise)
