Attending day care can be an enriching and stimulating experience for young children. Small children are just beginning to develop immunity. Their hygiene habits are as immature as their immune systems. The coughing, drooling and wiping with abandon sometimes results in absenteeism from school for children as well as missed work for parents.

Can BioGaia Promote Good Health?
A double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized trial was conducted to see whether BioGaia’s L. reuteri could promote good health in children attending day care. The study included 201 healthy children and lasted 21 months, covering two winter seasons and two summer seasons. Children were randomly assigned to receive either BioGaia’s L. reuteri, a Bifidobacterium probiotic, or no probiotic. Both probiotics promoted good health but the children receiving BioGaia’s L. reuteri seemed to derive the most benefit.

The Answer is Yes
Children receiving BioGaia’s L. reuteri had significantly fewer days with fewer doctor visits, fewer common diarrhea episodes, and had fewer absences from day care than children receiving the other probiotic or no probiotic at all.

Replenish their Well-Being
When it comes to fostering the well-being of their children, most parents seem eager to take advantage of every advancement being made in science and medicine. The health benefits of BioGaia’s L. reuteri have been demonstrated in numerous studies. BioGaia’s L. reuteri promotes gut health in healthy children, which is crucial for children’s well-being.
