Lifestream BowelBiotics for Kids may promote healthy bowel function in children:

• With digestive upsets
• Following a course of antibiotics 
• During periods of stress 
• Who are not receiving enough fibre in their diets

Lifestream BowelBiotics for Kids is simple to mix with certain liquids and foods so that a child can consume it easily.

Lifestream BowelBiotics for Kids contains a specific, unique blend of soluble and insoluble fibres which help to form a soft gel in the digestive system. This soft gel does not expand or cause bloating and is gentle on the digestive system. The oat bran concentrate in Lifestream BowelBiotics for Kids contains oat beta-glucans which are the soluble fibre component of oats.

The oat bran concentrate used in Lifestream BowelBiotics for Kids is obtained from Scandinavia where the long hours of daylight during the harvest season help to produce oat cereals with naturally high levels of oat beta-glucans. Other natural fibres included in Lifestream BowelBiotics for Kids are natural gums; acacia gum, xanthan gum and guar gum. Psyllium husks are included as they provide a good source of both soluble and insoluble fibre.

Lifestream BowelBiotics for Kids contains inulin which are naturally occurring oligosaccharides produced by many types of plants. Inulin is a highly effective prebiotic helping to stimulate the growth of beneficial bacteria in the gut. Inulin is also an additional source of soluble fibre. It has been shown that prebiotics added to a balanced healthy diet can increase the number of friendly bacteria in the colon, while simultaneously helping to reduce the population of unfriendly bacteria. The soluble fibre acacia gum also has prebiotic properties.

Children are particularly susceptible to changes in gut microflora with an incorrect balance of microflora ultimately leading to digestive upsets. Probiotics are ‘friendly’ bacteria that help improve digestive and immune health. Lifestream BowelBiotics for Kids contains a unique blend of seven probiotic cultures that have been shown to have particular relevance in children by helping to restore the correct balance of gut microflora. The probiotic strains in Lifestream BowelBiotics for Kids are suitable for children of all ages and are ideal for use following a course of antibiotics, digestive upsets or during stress, where they assist in maintaining digestive, colon and bowel health.
