Lactobact JUNIOR + - Probiotic powder for intestinal flora with 7 microencapsulated bacterial strains and important vitamins for children from 2 years of age

Lactobact JUNIOR+ is a specific, pharmaceutical-grade probiotic powder for children, characterized by seven scientifically selected, microencapsulated bacterial cultures and the important nutrients vitamin B5 and vitamin B9. This intestinal probiotic for children is traditionally used to support gut health, promote a healthy gut flora, alleviate digestive problems, strengthen the gut-associated immune system, and reduce tiredness and fatigue. Pediatricians and therapists recommend the product for susceptibility to infections, lethargy, during antibiotic therapy, vaccinations, and for the prevention and treatment of allergies and intolerances.

The targeted combination of beneficial bacteria and essential nutrients specifically promotes the physical development of children from the age of 2 and supports energy metabolism, cognitive performance, and normal blood formation. Once they reach the appropriate age, Lactobact JUNIOR+ is also particularly suitable for children born via cesarean section, those who were not breastfed, or those born prematurely, in order to compensate for any potential deficiencies.

Just half a teaspoon, or 2 g, daily naturally supports the gut microbiome and promotes healthy development in children. A daily dose of 2 g of powder provides 2 billion active lactic acid bacteria from 7 carefully selected, biologically active, microencapsulated bacterial strains in an ideal dosage, as well as the essential nutrients vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid) and vitamin B9 (folic acid).

The bacterial strains Bifidobacterium bifidum, Bifidobacterium breve, Bifidobacterium lactis, Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus plantarum, and Streptococcus thermophilus are specially formulated to meet the needs of children. They support the gut, strengthen the immune system, and promote physical development. We recommend using the product as part of a 3- to 6-month course. This probiotic is well-tolerated, produced in Germany, and suitable for children from 2 years of age. All ingredients undergo strict controls, and harmful fillers and additives are deliberately avoided. The biologically active microorganisms in Lactobact JUNIOR+ are protected from stomach and bile acids by Intelicaps microencapsulation technology, a plant-based coating. This allows the powder to be stirred into liquids or soft foods, ensuring the beneficial bacteria reach the gut unharmed and their ability to multiply is not impaired.

Promoting a healthy gut flora is important for all parents who want to support their child's development in the best possible way. A healthy childhood forms the foundation for a healthy life. Targeted measures can compensate for potential deficiencies and create a stable base for the child's health. Approximately 70% of immune cells reside in the human gut, which is why a healthy gut flora plays a crucial role in the immune system and susceptibility to allergies, intolerances, and infections. In the first years of life, the immune system is still developing and is challenged by contact with numerous new pathogens, for example, in daycare or from other children. The fact that some children become ill more frequently and severely can be attributed to various individual factors. Genetic predisposition plays a significant role: children from families with a history of frequent illness may also have an increased risk of developing diseases. In addition, the immune system of some children is less mature or reacts more sensitively to pathogens, which can lead to more frequent infections, especially in the first years of life. Sometimes, taking antibiotics is unavoidable, which not only combats pathogens but can also damage beneficial gut bacteria, thus disrupting the gut microbiome. This can cause diarrhea and other symptoms. To stabilize the gut flora during and after antibiotic treatment, it is important to introduce beneficial bacteria early on, allowing them to colonize and restore balance in the gut.

Numerous observational studies with extensive datasets show that children born via cesarean section have an increased risk of certain diseases. Later in life, they are more susceptible to respiratory illnesses such as asthma, develop allergies more frequently, and have a greater risk of obesity. In recent years, the gut microbiome has increasingly become a focus of scientific research in order to understand the causes of this increased susceptibility to disease. This heightened susceptibility to infection is particularly common in premature infants. Studies also indicate that in formula-fed children, the likelihood of allergies and intolerances, as well as conditions such as asthma, atopic dermatitis, and other skin problems, is increased, since the lactic acid bacteria and other nutrients contained in breast milk are important for building a healthy gut flora.

Lactobact JUNIOR+ offers specially formulated support for children aged 2 and up. The beneficial bacteria help the body defend against unwanted germs and stabilize digestion. A healthy gut microbiome protects against allergens and pathogens penetrating the intestinal barrier, thus preventing the risk of conditions such as asthma, eczema, skin problems, allergies, and intolerances. Susceptibility to infections and fatigue can be reduced, as well as the side effects of antibiotic treatments and vaccinations.
