Do you know the important roles of probiotics for babies?

Every baby is the most precious treasure of its mother, but many mothers have found that although the baby’s diarrhea has stopped temporarily and the symptoms have been alleviated, the baby’s resistance has obviously deteriorated, and the baby either has a fever or catches a cold. What is going on? – This may be related to the imbalance of intestinal flora . Let’s Discover benefits of probiotics for babies.

1. Why do babies need probiotics ?

The immune systems of newborn babies are not yet fully developed. The external environment full of germs and microorganisms is a huge challenge for babies. The intestines are the first barrier against external germs, and trillions of probiotics and harmful bacteria live in them, which together maintain the microecological balance inside the intestines. Among them, probiotics can not only help babies digest and absorb, but also produce beneficial metabolites to protect the health of babies. However, factors such as the use of antibiotics and improper diet can easily destroy this balance. At this time, it is particularly important to supplement probiotics in time.

2. The important role of probiotics for babies

Next, we will learn more about the six core functions of probiotics and what are the probiotics that protect the baby’s health?

1. Enhance immunity
   70% of the human body’s immune cells are distributed in the intestines. Probiotics can promote antibody production by interacting with immune cells and transport them to various organs to play a role, helping babies build stronger resistance.
2. 0-3 years old is the golden period for brain development , and the key lies in ” brain-gut peptide “. Brain-gut peptide is essential for the baby’s brain development and is the only golden growth hormone. Probiotics promote the synthesis of “brain-gut peptide”, support neuron growth, and lay the foundation for intellectual development.
3. Probiotics promote bone growth. They are the key to the production of vitamin K2. K2 is the only transport factor that allows calcium to be deposited in bones. Without it, calcium cannot be absorbed. “K2” can only be produced by probiotics, which is the only way to obtain it. Therefore, we say that probiotics have the important role of producing vitamin K2 factors and ensuring the healthy development of baby’s bones.
4. Protecting intestinal health
   by colonizing probiotics in the intestines to form a large-scale “biofilm” can effectively inhibit harmful bacteria, pollutants, pesticide residues and other toxins that are not conducive to health, promote intestinal peristalsis, and reduce problems such as diarrhea and constipation.
5. Optimize nutrient absorption
   Probiotics participate in 70% of food decomposition, helping babies efficiently absorb key nutrients such as calcium, iron, zinc, and avoid malnutrition.

Babies with weak constitution, poor digestive function, and frequent diarrhea and constipation can take some probiotics appropriately.

Youyuxing instant probiotics are made from 5 selected edible strains for infants and young children. The strains are highly active and effective, so babies can eat them with confidence. Add a variety of prebiotics to promote the growth of probiotics, sweet and harmless to teeth

• It is recommended to take it with warm water below 37°C and drink it immediately to retain its activity to the maximum extent.

Give your baby more gentle care, starting with intestinal health!

How do probiotics help infants and young children

Anti-allergic probiotics for infants and young children should be the most popular type of probiotics in recent years. After all, allergies should be the number one headache for babies.

However, many people are still not very clear about how anti-allergic probiotics work and how to choose from so many types of probiotics. So today we will give you a little science popularization on how to choose an anti-allergic probiotic and how it plays an anti-allergic role.

1. Let’s first talk about Why need probiotics for babies.

Many people think that baby probiotics are similar to the probiotics in yogurt, but in fact, yogurt mainly contains lactobacilli, and baby probiotics, or probiotic preparations, are added with different strains of bacteria according to different needs.

After a baby is born, his immune system has not yet matured, so he is in a susceptible period before the age of six, especially with more gastrointestinal problems. The normal intestinal flora plays an important role in children’s nutrient absorption, ability to resist viral or bacterial infections, and the maturation of the immune system.

Therefore, probiotics are very popular as a natural therapy that can maintain the balance of intestinal flora, improve the baby’s immunity, promote gastrointestinal digestion and absorption, and prevent various diseases.

2. How to choose a suitable probiotics for babies

To choose an anti-allergic probiotic that suits your baby’s needs, the first thing you need to understand is these probiotic preparations . Here we only talk about the more common allergies and the corresponding strains:

1. Babies with eczema: Bifidobacterium, Lactobacillus, Saccharomyces boulardii , Rhamnosus galactosidase (LGG), Bifidobacterium

2. Allergic rhinitis: Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium

3. Asthma: Rhamnosus bacillus (LGG) and Bifidobacterium (Bb-12)

4. Babies with a higher risk of allergies (sensitive constitution): Lactobacillus rhamnosus (LGG), Bifidobacterium lactis (Bb-12)

3. How do anti-allergic probiotics achieve anti-allergic effects?

First of all, we must make it clear that most of the baby allergies we encounter in life are type I allergic reactions , that is, rapid-onset allergic reactions mediated by IgE .

In layman’s terms, it is due to the stimulation of various factors that the IgE in human serum increases.

Now, studies have shown that the increase in IgE may be caused by the disorder of Th1/Th2 cell levels in the body (simply understood: T cells have many forms in the body, of which there are two differentiated forms called Th1 and Th2 cells, please see “Medical Immunology” for details), that is, the increase in Th2 cell levels. At the same time, many foreign studies have shown that anti-allergic probiotics can induce Th1 cell activity, inhibit Th2 cell activity, maintain the Th1/Th2 cell level in the body at a normal state, reduce IgE production, and alleviate allergic reactions.

Among the probiotics used for anti-allergy, Lactobacillus paracasei, Lactobacillus reuteri, Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Lactobacillus acidophilus, and Bifidobacterium longum can reduce allergic symptoms by increasing interferon to inhibit IgE. They also have strong intestinal adsorption, can form bacterial species dominance in the intestine, maintain the balance of intestinal flora, improve the ecology of the intestine, produce antibacterial substances, enhance human immunity, improve lactose intolerance syndrome, and reduce allergic immune inflammatory reactions caused by TH2 cells.

Therefore, if it is determined that the baby’s IgE is relatively active and has a sensitive constitution, the targeted use of anti-allergic probiotics can better exert the role of probiotics and improve the baby’s constitution.
