Probiotic
Garden of Life Baby
Overview
This blend contains several well-researched probiotic strains, some of which have strong evidence for specific benefits in infants, such as reducing colic symptoms and diarrhea duration. However, the exact CFU of each specific strain within the 'Baby Probiotic Blend' is not disclosed, which limits the ability to confirm optimal dosing for every included strain.
The Good
Specifically formulated for infants 6 months and older, addressing their unique gut health needs.
Contains well-researched strains for infant gut health and immune support.
Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG) has strong clinical evidence for reducing diarrhea duration in children.
The Bad
The exact CFU (Colony Forming Units) for each specific probiotic strain is not disclosed, making it difficult to assess if individual strains are at their clinically effective doses.
The 'Baby Probiotic Blend' is listed in milligrams (31mg), which doesn't directly indicate the live bacterial count.
While L. reuteri is included, the specific strain '1E1' lacks as much dedicated clinical research as the more commonly studied 'DSM 17938' strain for colic.
