Pharmacological action
Recommended as a dietary supplement for food – a source of probiotic microorganisms. The Linex probiotic for children ® contains important bifidobacteria Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis (BB-12).
WHY VV-12 BIFIDOBACTERIA WAS SELECTED
Bifidobacteria BB-12 – are found in breast milk and begin to colonize the intestines of the newborn from the first hours of life. This strain has high safety, good tolerance and clinical efficacy in children from the neonatal period.
Bifidobacteria contribute to the natural formation of normal microflora and intestinal function, and also create an optimal environment in the intestine for the action of digestive enzymes. Moreover, bifidobacteria ensure the correct formation of immunity and help reduce the risk of developing infectious diseases, the possibility of atopic dermatitis and food allergies in young children. In breast-fed children, it is bifidobacteria that account for 60-91% of the microflora.
Indications
Establishing and maintaining a balance in the composition and functional state of the intestinal microflora, including in children of the first year of life with such digestive disorders as colic *, gas formation, stool disturbance (constipation, diarrhea) and other digestive disorders
Maintaining equilibrium of composition and the functional state of intestinal microflora when taking antibiotics and after completing a course of antibiotic treatment
To reduce the risk of diarrhea caused by viral or bacterial infections gastrointestinal tract (including rotavirus infection)
Supporting the formation and functioning of the immune system.
Factors that negatively influence the formation of microflora in the intestines of a newborn:
Children at risk for imbalance in the intestinal microflora: Caesarean section, premature birth
Adverse course of the neonatal period
Late breastfeeding
Prolonged stay in the maternity ward
Early artificial feeding
Physiological immaturity of intestinal motor function
Unbalanced diet.
Unfavorable moments in the baby s life (risk of imbalance in the intestinal microflora): Breastfeeding
Introduction of complementary foods
Teething
Hospitalization
Relocation
Separation, even short-term, with the mother when she is away from work srd soothers.
These factors disrupt the natural colonization of the intestines with beneficial bacteria and can cause microflora imbalance (dysbiosis) and therefore children at risk for microflora imbalance are more prone to functional disorders of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT), food allergies, and are more susceptible to gastrointestinal infections.
