Human breast milk provides beneficial factors to infants not just in terms of basic nutrients, but also beneficial bacteria. This bacteria is important for the development and maintenance of a baby’s healthy immune system.
BioGaia’s L. reuteri is a natural colonizer in humans from birth. It is even found in the milk of breastfeeding mothers. The content of L. reuteri found in breast milk varies from mother to mother. In fact, breast milk from lactating mothers living in rural areas contains more L. reuteri than breast milk from mothers in urban areas. Other probiotic species’ natural living environments are outside the human body and are just temporary residents derived from ingested food. Scientists feel that L. reuteri's indigenous status is a major contributing factor to its health-enhancing effects and exceptional safety record.*

BioGaia is happy to be helping children get a healthy start in life.
