Synbiotics in For your child’s health may cut childhood infections: A study at the Institut Rosell

Posted 3 years ago by Soraya in General Health News

A new study by the Institut Rosell found that the probiotics and prebiotics in OptiBac Probiotics For your child’s health could reduce infant infections by about 25%. This randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in France recruited 135 school-age children who had suffered from at least three episodes of ENT (ear-nose-throat,) bronchopulmonary or gastric disorder during the last winter, and assigned children either the synbiotic supplement or a placebo, for a period of three months. Half of the children given For your child’s health resisted all of these disorders during the winter of the study, compared to only 33% of children receiving the placebo. Henri Durand, scientific director for Lallemand, explained how progressive clinical research led to the development of the children’s synbiotic, concluding that “not all probiotics are the same, and each strain has its own benefits.”
