Bio-Kult Infantis

Bio-Kult Infantis is an advanced multibacterial strain formulation for babies, toddlers and young children, says Probiotics International. Each sachet contains seven strains of live bacteria, which research suggests could help with stomach troubles commonly associated with bowel movements. Infantis also contains omega 3 (believed to contribute to early brain development and cognitive function) and vitamin D3 which, the company says, helps to contribute to the normal function of the immune system and bone development.
