Probiocolon Baby is a product specially developed for babies and pregnant women. It contains a combination of special lactic acid bacteria strains and galacto-oliosaccharides. A sufficient intake of lactic acid bacteria is very useful for babies and pregnant women – particularly if the baby is not breast-fed and/or was born by Caesarean section. To solve this, Dr. Wolz has developed Probiocolon Baby for babies and pregnant women. The three special lactic acid bacteria strains (Bifidobacterium infantis, Lactobacillus acidophilus and Lactobacillus rhamnosus) are carefully selected based on current studies. They are natural lactic acid bacteria, which are similar to the ones in breast milk. They have proven effectiveness for the development of babies and have been shown to be safe  and well tolerated in mothers and babies The galacto-oligosaccharide (GOS) are fibres consisting of polysaccharides which is beneficial to the intestinal flora, because it reaches the large intestine undigested, where it is used by the intestinal bacteria as food. Scientific studies have shown, that a healthy intestinal flora characterised by bifidobacteria and lactobacilli develops in non-breastfed infants when the babies are fed a formula containing GOS. GOS is more similar to the galacto-oligosaccharides present in breast milk , than the plant based fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) which do not occur in breast milk at all.
