We use an innovative delivery technology (Microbac&tradel), which stabilises the live bacteria by coating them with a layer of plant-derived lipid. This protects the bacteria from the strong acid in the stomach, allowing up to 5x more bacteria to survive transit through the upper gastrointestinal tract and reach the intestines alive, compared to traditional, uncoated bacteria.
The neonatal period and the first two years of a child's life are crucial for the establishment of a healthy gut microbiome and for the maturation of a functional immune system. Bifidobacteria are the prevalent bacteria within the gut microbiome of breastfed infants, and are widely accepted as a signpost for healthy microbiota development.
The higher level of bifidobacteria observed in breastfed infants is likely due to the presence of both prebiotic human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) and bifidobacteria within the breast milk itself, with these bifidogenic effects believed to contribute to breastmilk's beneficial associations with immune system development, prevention of chronic disease, and cognitive development.
Members of the Lactobacillus genus are also dominant in the infant gut microbiota, with the ability to ferment HMOs and impart similar benefits.
