How do baby probiotics work?

BioGaia® Protectis® Baby Drops add a gentle dose of friendly bacteria to your little one's tummy, complementing your baby's natural gut flora.

Once swallowed, the probiotics (that having been asleep and just waiting to spring into action) begin their amazing journey reactivating as they move through your baby’s digestive system. The probiotics ‘wake up’ in the gut forming a team of millions of invisible heroes.

Daily intake of probiotics is recommended as the friendly bacteria do not stay forever and are naturally expelled after a week or two.

How LongevityGuard™ protects your probiotics

For probiotics to support your baby’s well-being, the friendly bacteria should be active. LongevityGuard™ helps our probiotics remain alive and viable ensuring optimal quality for you.

Inside each bottle, a small desiccant strip absorbs excess moisture to help keep the friendly bacteria viable and active. This means there’s no need for refrigeration, and you can feel reassured knowing your baby is receiving reliable support and full viability with every drop!
