LoveBug is a unique staged probiotic formulated for babies and toddlers from ages 12 months to age 4. Shockingly, by age 4 your baby's microbiome has almost finished developing and closely resembles that of a full-grown adult! LoveBug Toddler Probiotics targets this crucial developmental window providing your "4 and under' with the strains studied for toddler development. Make sure that the strains included in your probiotic include: L. rhamnosus GG L. rhamnosus GO is the most clinically studied strain and has been the subject of more than 200 clinical trials over the last 20 years. It has been extensively studied for its effect in babies with colic, diarrhea, digestive upset and immune system issues. B. Infantis B. infantis is considered the super strain for babies. Only 30% of women in the U.S. carry this strain to pass on to their babies; in the developing world 90% of mothers carry it. Scientists don't know why this strain is disappearing in the West, but they do know it is crucial to a baby's health and development This strain is critical during the early months of life when a baby's metabolism and immune system are developing. B. infantis evolved specifically to feed on the HMOs (Human Milk Oligosaccharides) in mom's breast milk and release chemicals that aid in brain and digestive system development B. infantis is the good bacteria that takes up residence and can minimize the occurrence and growth of potentially harmful bacteria—especially those that are linked to a higher risk for conditions like coke, eczema, allergies, obesity, and diabetes. B. lactis B. lactis is one of the most abundant bacteria found in breastfed infants. It is also one of the most versatile and hardest working strains in the human body. Similar to other strains, this lactic acid bacteria may help fight lactose intolerance and boost the immune system. L. reuteri L. reuteri can help relieve diarrhea in infants and children. Extensively studied in children with excessive colic.
