Protection

Protection is important because new-born babies are at a vulnerable stage of life. This is because their gut wall is not fully matured. Furthermore, new-born babies have inexperienced immune systems, with limited exposure to pathogens. The adaptive part of the immune system relies on this previous exposure to pathogens to develop defences against them. Until the gut wall and immune system begins to reach maturity, breast milk is the ideal nutrition for infants, as it provides important protective components.

When a baby is breastfed, their gut is colonised by certain types of beneficial bacteria which are thought to play an important role in a healthy, balanced gut. Other breast milk components such as lactoferrin and complex milk lipids,  may help to speed up gut maturation and may protect gut membrane integrity (Demmelmair et al. 2017, Park et al, 2010; Park et al, 2007). 

• BifidoB 019 is patented for its immune enhancing benefits and excellent stability in formulation.

• Our clinical research shows BifidoB 019 reduces incidence of common childhood sickness and the use of antibiotics (Dekker et al 2012; Sazawal et al.,2010; Dekker et al.,2009).

• BifidoB 019 has a beneficial effect on the balance of gut microbiota, increasing levels of beneficial Bifidobacteria (Oswari et al., 2013).

• BifidoB 019 also promotes a healthy infant digestive system by supporting the health of the intestinal wall (Rivière et al. (2016).
