5 billion CFU per chewable tablet, containing equal parts Lactobacillus acidophilus NCFM and Bifidobacterium lactis (Bi-07)Designed to reduce cold and flu symptoms, such as fever, runny nose, and cough, reduce missed school days due to illness, and reduce antibiotic prescriptions in children2,000 IU of active vitamin A, 20 mg of vitamin C, and 400 IU of vitamin D3 included to optimize immune function and musculoskeletal health in growing childrenChildren love to explore and learn, and their immune systems do exactly the same when they encounter new environments. It is imperative to support both the digestive tract and the immune system during this crucial stage of life, as growing evidence suggests that the gut microbiome is one of the key influencers of immune health. For example, specific probiotic strains have been shown to have a positive impact not only on cold and flu symptoms, but even on objective markers such as the number of days missed from school due to illness. Lactobacillus acidophilus NCFM (La-NCFM) and Bifidobacterium lactis (Bi-07) are two extremely well-studied probiotic strains with multiple human clinical trials individually, in combination, and with other unique probiotic strains. One notable trial compared La-NCFM to a placebo intervention in children aged 3 to 5 years over a 6-month period to determine its effectiveness in preventing cold and flu symptoms. At the end of the study, the La-NCFM probiotic group was found to have a 53% lower incidence of fever, a 41% lower incidence of cough, 68% less antibiotic use, and a 32% reduction in days missed from childcare. While these results are significant and impressive, combined treatment with La-NCFM and Bi-07 in this same study showed even greater numbers: 73% reduced fever incidence, 62% reduced cough incidence, 84% less antibiotic use, and 28% reduction in days missed from daycare. Clearly, these probiotic strains offer some level of synergistic benefits when it comes to immune function in children. While these results are significant, each strain is capable of much more than its immune benefits in children. La-NCFM has also been shown to reduce oral candidiasis, increase bifidobacteria and lactobacilli, and improve markers of irritable bowel syndrome on its own, while Bi-07 effectively improves constipation and white blood cell function as a stand-alone therapy. Cyto-Matrix Flora-Matrix Kids offers 5 billion colony units per chewable tablet, containing equal parts La-NCFM and Bi-07. These evidence-based strains help reduce cold and flu symptoms, such as fever, runny nose, and cough, reducing missed school days due to illness and antibiotic prescriptions. Flora-Matrix Kids also contains vitamin A, vitamin C, and vitamin D3 for healthy immune function and to promote the development of strong bones and teeth. Flora-Matrix Kids comes in a delicious, shelf-stable, naturally berry-flavored chewable tablet that is certified dairy-free. Each carton contains 60 blister-pack tablets. Flora-Matrix Kids belongs to the Flora-Matrix family of probiotics, each containing specialized strains for targeted results. Each Flora-Matrix probiotic contains unique strains with distinct activity and health benefits. These strains are individually selected and well-studied at validated dosages, ensuring targeted clinical results without the need for excessive colony-forming units.
