Babies are born with an intestinal tract that is virtually sterile. Soon after birth, bacteria begin to colonize the entire gastrointestinal (GI) system and form the unique and complex blend of both ‰”good‰” and ‰”bad‰” bacteria that are so critical to our health. Unfortunately, this bacterial balance is easily upset, particularly in babies and young children because of how they explore their world. For example, dirty fingers in the mouth, illness, or a course of antibiotics can introduce disease-causing bacteria. This causes the probiotic or healthy bacteria in the intestine to be overwhelmed, which can quickly lead to an excess of harmful bacteria. Such an imbalance leads to stomach upset, including diarrhea, and begins a cycle of poor digestion and reduced immune function.

Probiotic supplements are proven safe even in vulnerable infants and multiple studies confirm that children taking probiotic bacteria form supplements (<i>Bifidobacteria</i> and <i>Lactobacilli</i>) suffer from fewer colds and stomach flus than those who don’t, and their colds were also less severe than those who were not taking probiotics.

Sisu Dophilus Plus Chewables are a great-tasting and kid-friendly favourite that deliver a guaranteed amount of healthy bacteria to help prevent GI problems, repair damage, and restore gastrointestinal health in children of all ages.
