Udo's Choice Children's Blend
Probiotic formula for children 5-15 years
Udo's Choice
Guarantees four billion viable organisms of beneficial bacteria* that are absolutely essential for proper digestion, strong immune function and over-all health (*at time of manufacture).
Formulates to include Bifido bacteria B.bifidum and B.breve, essential for the healthy development of a child's digestive tract.
A child's healthy microflora will closely resemble that of an adult but due to their smaller size children need much smaller quantities of the same bacteria. The specific strains used in Children's Blend have been specially chosen for their value to children's health and have been formulated to the viable count appropriate for children.
Ingredients

- Lactobacillus casei: a bacteria commonly used for milk fermentation and has shown to be helpful in treating diarrhoea caused by antibiotics and viruses.
- Lactobacillus rhamnosus: one of the most important probiotic strains for the health of the adult digestive tract from the mouth to the small intestine. Especially beneficial in inhibiting the bacteria involved in vaginal and urinary tract infections.

- Lactobacillus plantarum: from vegetable origin and found in the intestinal tract it has beneficial anti-microbial activities.
- Streptococcus thermophilus: a transient probiotic from dairy origin. Producing large quantities of lactic acid it limits the growth of unfriendly bacteria and helps in the prevention and treatment of diarrhoea.
