There is help for baby colic and constipation....thank you Health Canada and Bio Gaia....

Russell has finally shown an interest in solids. Happy Days!!!! But all this great new healthy food has created a little problem called constipation. When I can get him to eat yogurt it helps - a lot. It is just that sometimes will not eat it. Thanks to a fantastic recommendation from a wonderful customer (she also happens to work with Health Canada) we have found a solution, Bio Gaia Probiotic Drops.

Having an extensive background in the Health Food industry - I was already aware of the benefits of probiotics. Unfortunately most of the probiotic supplements on the market are junk.... Not this one... This is the real deal......

Why so special...well it contains Lactobacillus reuteri and according to the companies Website....

L. reuteri basic facts

What is  Lactobacillus reuteri?

Lactobacillus reuteri (L. reuteri) is recognised as a true probiotic thanks to its positive effects on human health and that it meets all the requirements on modern probiotic products (WHO/FAO 2002).
To date, its efficiency and safety for humans has been studied in 67 trials on more than 4,500 individuals of all ages. Results are published in 37 articles in scientific journals (Feb 2010). This makes it one of the most well researched probiotics.
Where does it come from?
The commercial strains of L. reuteri are derived from different human ecosystems such as mother’s milk and saliva.
What does it do?
L. reuteri Protectis (scientific strain designation DSM 17938, formerly L. reuteri ATCC 55730) exerts both direct effects on pathogens but it has also effects mediated through modulation of the immune system, via the gastrointestinal epithelium.
L. reuteri Prodentis, a blend of the two strains DSM 17938 and ATCC PTA 5289, has likewise been shown to inhibit pathogens in the oral cavity and modulate its immune defence. Thereby L. reuteri Prodentis helps to reduce the symptom bleeding gums and amount of plaque on the teeth.
Why is L. reuteri so special?
L. reuteri is a natural colonizer in humans from the time we are born and is even found in the milk of breastfeeding mothers. It is one of very few species of Lactobacillus that is uniquely adapted to reside in the digestive tract of man and to interact with us in symbiosis (Oh PL et al. 2009). Most other bacteria have their natural living environment outside the human body and are just temporary residents derived from ingested food.
L. reuteri is also unique among probiotics in producing the natural inhibitory substance reuterin.
