Biostime Infant & Children A-L-G Care

Description

Biostime Infant & Children A-L-G Care is a specially formulated nutritional blend designed for infants from 1 month of age and older. This advanced formula combines 2′-Fucosyllactose (2′-FL HMO), three clinically studied probiotic strains, and essential nutrients to support your little one’s developing digestive and immune systems during their crucial early years.

Advanced Probiotic & HMO Formula

Each convenient sachet delivers a comprehensive blend of beneficial ingredients carefully selected for infant nutrition. The formula features 2′-Fucosyllactose (2′-FL), a human milk oligosaccharide (HMO) naturally found in breastmilk, alongside 7 billion live probiotic cultures from three well-researched strains: Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG®), Bifidobacterium lactis (BB-12®), and Bifidobacterium breve (M-16V). These probiotic strains have been extensively studied in infant populations and are recognised for their stability and safety profile.

The inclusion of 2′-FL HMO at 500mg per sachet provides a key prebiotic component that may contribute to supporting the growth of beneficial intestinal flora. This is complemented by fructooligosaccharides (FOS), which serve as food for the probiotic bacteria, helping them establish and thrive in your child’s digestive system.

Key Nutritional Benefits

• Intestinal Health Support: The combination of probiotics and prebiotics may help maintain normal intestinal health and support the balance of beneficial gut flora during infancy and early childhood
• Immune System Function: Contains Vitamin D (400 IU) and Zinc (2mg), both of which contribute to normal immune system function in growing children
• Skin Comfort: The specific probiotic strains included may be relevant for infants experiencing mild skin sensitivity, supporting overall skin comfort
• Digestive Comfort: May help support normal digestive function and contribute to intestinal wellbeing during the important developmental stages
• Nutritional Foundation: Provides essential micronutrients including Vitamin D3 for bone development and Zinc for growth and development

Clinically Studied Probiotic Strains

Biostime A-L-G Care features three specific probiotic strains that have been the subject of clinical research in paediatric populations. LGG® (Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG) is one of the most extensively studied probiotic strains worldwide. BB-12® (Bifidobacterium lactis) is a well-documented strain known for its stability and survival through the digestive tract. M-16V (Bifidobacterium breve) has been specifically researched in infant populations and is naturally found in the infant gut microbiome.

Together, these strains provide 7 billion colony-forming units (CFU) per sachet, delivering a meaningful dose of beneficial bacteria to support your child’s developing microbiome.

Easy to Use & Versatile

The convenient single-serve sachets make daily supplementation simple and mess-free. For infants aged 1-12 months, mix one sachet daily into infant formula (that does not already contain 2′-Fucosyllactose) or soft food of your choice. For children 12 months and older, one sachet can be added to water, toddler milk drinks, regular milk, or soft foods.

The powder is designed to mix easily, though some settling may occur after mixing—this is normal. Once prepared, the mixture should be consumed immediately to ensure optimal probiotic viability. The neutral formulation means it won’t significantly alter the taste of your child’s food or drink, making daily use straightforward even with fussy eaters.

Quality & Safety Considerations

Biostime is committed to producing high-quality nutritional supplements for infants and children. This product contains lactose and sulfites, and it’s important to note that the 2′-FL is not derived from human breastmilk but is produced through a fermentation process. This product should not be taken on the same day as breastmilk or other products containing 2′-fucosyllactose.

The formula includes zinc, which is an essential mineral for growth and development. However, as with all supplements, it should be used as directed. Dietary supplements are designed to complement, not replace, a balanced diet. If your child’s symptoms persist, worsen, or change unexpectedly, consult your healthcare professional for personalised advice.

Who Is This Product For?

Biostime Infant & Children A-L-G Care is suitable for infants from 1 month of age and children who may benefit from additional probiotic and prebiotic support. It’s particularly relevant for parents looking to support their child’s digestive comfort, maintain healthy gut flora balance, and contribute to normal immune function during the critical early years of development.

Always read the label and follow the directions for use. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain product quality and probiotic viability.
