Probiotics In Your Child's Diet

Children develop their microbiome in the womb and need probiotics from the very early phase of their lives.

- Dr. Siddhant Bhargava

Probiotics are live micro-organisms, usually bacteria, that play a significant role in the development of a child's immune system. Though the research on the microbiome is still in its early stages, its importance has been widely accepted. Eating certain gut-healthy foods could help prevent some of the world's most common ills, such as malnutrition and obesity, and perhaps even inflammatory conditions and autoimmune disorders. Studies suggest that probiotics given to infants in the first three months prevent colic, constipation, and acid reflux.
