Banana Acidophilus Plus

Much is known about the many advantages of children developing a healthy number of beneficial bacteria in their gut. Improved immunity, less illness and reduced allergic tendencies have all been reported. But many circumstances can cause damage to these friendly bacteria, or shift the balance towards other,less helpful microbes - Caesarians, bottle-feeding, antibiotics, stomach 'bugs', junk food, sugar and food additives.

Probiotic drinks are much advertised, but these are full of sugar and dairy produce - things that many allergic children need to avoid. Anyway, the bacteria in the will not colonise and multiply in the gut, so need to be taken indefinitely ... a rather expensive way to improve immunity in the long run. However, Biocare have produced a delicious probiotic powder flavoured with real freeze-dried banana, containing 1 billion LAB4 Acidophilus and Bifidobacteria in every half teaspoonful. (See Bio-acidophilus for further details)

This is a breakthrough in probiotic products, and is equally suitable for babies after weaning, children and the elderly. Probiotics are often recommended after a course of antibiotics.

Directions:
Half a teaspoonful daily or according to professional advice. May be dissolved in water, juice or milk, or sprinkled directly onto food.
