What are probiotics?
Probiotics are dietary supplements, like vitamins and minerals. The word probiotic means ”for life” as opposed to antibiotic which means ”against life”. WHO defines probiotics as live microorganisms which, when administered in adequate amounts, confer a health benefit on the host.

Lactobacillus reuteri Protectis is BioGaia’s own patented probiotic bacteria. Because Lactobacillus reuteri Protectis naturally occurs in the human body it is uniquely adapted to reside in humans. With its exceptional and documented health benefits in several areas, Lactobacillus reuteri Protectis is considered a truly superior probiotic bacterium.

Help for Colic
Any parent of a baby with colic knows the desperation of trying to soothe a crying infant. It is physically and emotionally draining and finding a good natural solution is a dream for many parents. Infant colic is widespread,  making the condition one of the most common reasons to visit the pediatrician.

Researchers believe not having enough good bacteria in the microflora is a contributing factor in colic. By helping to maintain a healthy balance in a baby’s digestive system, BioGaia can improve symptoms of colic. In fact, administering BioGaia ProTectis Baby to colicky infants has resulted in significantly reduced crying time.
