Meet BioGaia – The Brand Creating Safe Remedies For The Whole Family 

Being a parent is one of the most intense and beautiful experience of my life – I wouldn’t trade it for anything. You can read all the books, take all the advice from friends and family, and still find yourself in moments where you truly don’t know what to do. Every baby, toddler, and child are so different – they come into the world with their own uniqueness. What works for one may not work for another is one of my biggest takeaways in the last two years of motherhood. While I’m a firm believer that in the early years, kids really don’t need much and less is more when trying to approach parenthood with a sustainability hat – I can fully confirm that having remedies to hand for the different thing’s adolescence face is such a tool. Whether you are a new parent or an experienced parent, you will or have experienced colic, constant illness, upset tummies, irritated skin, and more in your little ones. This is where BioGaia comes in.

BioGaia’s core field has always been probiotics, starting in the 1980s and the brand has evolved over the last forty odd years into what it is now – a wellness range that continues to pioneer the space of probiotics. As a brand, they are the originator and world leader of probiotic dietary supplements for decades. Behind their products, you will find more than 200,000 hours of probiotic research to support our invisible hero’s – our bacteria.   

“All BioGaia probiotic supplements contain strains of the probiotic bacteria  L. reuteri  – a probiotic that is among the most researched but don’t just take our word for it – results from clinical studies with BioGaia’s probiotic strains have been published in more than 200 scientific journal articles showing that they are safe and effective for children and adults. So, you know it’s gut to be good!”

Well, what are Probiotics?

Probiotics are live bacteria that are beneficial for our health, especially our digestive system. When consumed in adequate amounts, these microorganisms can provide a variety of health benefits. For example, they help maintain a balanced gut microbiota by promoting the growth of good bacteria and inhibiting harmful ones. Probiotics can improve digestion, enhance nutrient absorption, and support a strong immune system. They are commonly found in certain foods like yogurt, kefir, as well as in dietary supplements.

Why are they beneficial for kids?

Digestion and gut health differ from every child – what mothers eat during pregnancy impacts her child’s microbiome , the way a baby is birthed even affects a baby’s gut, and of course what the child eats and consumes greatly impacts the gut. While most parents are aware of the importance of nutrition when it comes to children’s health, some don’t consider the role of bacteria in their child’s health. Introducing good bacteria into your child’s diet through fermented foods and/or daily probiotic supplements can help foster the growth of good bacteria and establish a foundation for lifelong health. Certain probiotic supplements promote a healthy gut environment by inhibiting the growth of harmful bacteria, reducing the risk of gastrointestinal infections and diarrhea in children. *Certain probiotics can even help strengthen and boost the immune system and protect against infections and some allergies.*
