Ther-Biotic® For Infants is a high-potency probiotic supplement specifically designed to safely meet the needs of infants up to the age of 2 years. The human digestive tract is populated by hundreds of different strains of bacterial microorganisms that are essential for healthy gastrointestinal and immune function. While most microorganisms are beneficial, a small percentage may not be. In a healthy digestive system, these microorganisms coexist in a balanced harmony. Probiotic supplements contain live, “friendly” bacteria that favorably shift the balance of gut microbiota towards more beneficial species.† Probiotics also promote digestion, support immune system function, facilitate nutrient and mineral absorption, and aid in the production of vitamins.† Microbial colonization of the gastrointestinal tract begins at birth and is critical for the development of an infant’s intestinal and immune system. However, this process can be disrupted by cesarean section delivery, hospitalization, formula feeding, antibiotic use, and toxin exposures. If the infant is breastfed, a maternal diet lacking in fresh fruits and vegetables can also affect microbial colonization. Ther-Biotic® For Infants contains select probiotics to promote microbiota balance and support healthy gastrointestinal and immune system maturation in infants.† • Supports optimal gastrointestinal function: Maintaining probiotic balance is important to promote digestion, facilitate bowel regularity, support normal intestinal barrier function, and assist the elimination of by-products from the intestinal tract. By blending together 5 Lactobacillus species that normally predominate in the small intestine with 5 Bifidobacterium species important for the colon, Ther-Biotic® For Infants offers comprehensive benefits for the healthy function of the entire gastrointestinal tract. • Supports healthy immune responses: Ther-Biotic® For Infants supplies 5 essential Lactobacillus species critical to support healthy development of the infant immune system. Five Bifidobacterium species normally predominant in an infant’s gastrointestinal tract are also included to help enhance innate immunity and support healthy immune responses.† • Safe for an infant’s metabolism: An infant’s gastrointestinal tract is not fully mature and cannot metabolize the D(-) isomer of lactic acid produced by certain Lactobacillus species often found in adult probiotics, such as L. acidophilus and L. reuteri. Ther-Biotic® For Infants contains Lactobacillus species that are safe for an infant’s metabolism. • Hypoallergenic ingredients: Probiotics used in Ther-Biotic® For Infants are cultured on proprietary vegetable-based growth media. This product is free of the following common allergens: milk/casein, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat/gluten, and soybeans. Contains no artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives. Inulin, a dietary fiber derived from chicory root, is used as a base ingredient in place of maltodextrin, often used in other probiotic supplements. Ther-Biotic® For Infants is intended for daily use to provide a broad spectrum of beneficial Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus probiotic species for support of gastrointestinal and immune function in infants up to the age of 2 years.† SKU: K-TIF Categories: Gastrointestinal, Gastrointestinal, KLAIRE, Probiotics
