Probiotics, or supplementary beneficial bacteria, may help support a healthy normal immune system and the healthy lining of the gastrointestinal tract.
Over 400 different species of bacteria normally reside in the human gastrointestinal tract, with approximately 35-50% of the contents of the human colon composed of bacteria. In a gastrointestinal system that is functioning well the populations of beneficial bacteria and pathogenic (i.e. disease-causing) bacteria are balanced.
Keeping intestinal bacteria in balance plays an important role in our general health and wellbeing. The ‘good' bacteria support the immune response. They also compete with pathogenic bacteria for space and nutrients within the gastrointestinal tract.
Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG®) and Bifidobacterium animalis (BB-12®) have been extensively studied in children and adults. These strains have been shown to colonise the bowel and help support a healthy normal immune system and the healthy lining of the gastrointestinal tract. Research suggests that LGG may help reduce the incidence and severity of mild upper respiratory tract infections, such as colds, among children in daycare. It may also help to reduce the number of days absent from daycare due to illness. Both strains also help to reduce the frequency and duration of diarrhoea in young children at daycare as well as help with the maintenance of intestinal flora after antibiotic use.
