Synbiotics: The Ultimate Gut Health Solution for your children
Keeping up with active kids requires more than just energy; it demands optimal gut health. That’s where synbiotics come in, combining the benefits of probiotics and prebiotics to provide comprehensive digestive support.
Synbiotics are products that combine probiotics (good bacteria) and prebiotics (their food) to enhance gut health. This synergy maximizes the benefits of both components, creating a robust environment for beneficial bacteria.
Scientific research backs the effectiveness of synbiotics. A study published in Pediatrics International (2021) found that children consuming synbiotics experienced fewer digestive issues and improved overall health.
Tummy Buddies’ synbiotic drinks are a convenient, sugar-free way to ensure your child’s gut is ready to keep up with their active lifestyle.
WHAT ARE SYNBIOTICS?
Synbiotics are a combination of Prebiotics (helpful gut bacteria), Probiotics (fibres that grow gut bacteria), and Postbiotics (compounds to support the immune system) that work together in the digestive system.
HOW DO SYNBIOTICS WORK?
As mentioned above, Synbiotics are a mixture that works together synergistically, meaning the Prebiotics in the mix help the Probiotics prolong their survival in the intestine, while Postbiotics help reduce inflammation, allergies and the effects of digestive issues while supporting the immune system.
WHY DO WE NEED SYNBIOTICS?
There are many proven benefits to increasing your Synbiotics, including:
- Supporting the Immune System: The balance of good bacteria in the gut is crucial in supporting the body’s Immune System. Synbiotics help the gut’s microbiome by growing good bacteria and helping it survive.
- Improve Digestive Function: Synbiotics keep the normal gut microflora balanced. These fibres and Prebiotics help support healthy, regular bowel functions and can relieve symptoms of diarrhea and constipation.
- Gut Cleansing: Synbiotics help the body eliminate non-beneficial bacteria in the gut, which also aids digestive functions.
- Nourishing: When you have optimal gut health, reinforced by Synbiotics, it allows your digestive system to absorb the nutrients, vitamins and minerals from your foods.
- Restores Gut Microbiome: Synbiotics not only work synergistically to support your existing microbiome, but they also help to restore the nutrients and metabolites necessary to continue producing a healthy microbiota
When it comes to growing kids, their gut microbiome is ever-changing based on age, lifestyle, diet and genetics, to name a few factors.
As busy parents, it’s hard to always keep on top of what they need, what food groups they’ve had and what they will currently eat. However, for a happy, healthy mind and body, our kids need a robust immune system and a regular digestive system. For this exact reason, Tummy Buddies makes it easy for your little ones to get the Synbiotics their systems need while keeping them hydrated without the fuss. Tummy Buddies come in four delicious flavours, each containing only Australian Spring Water, Natural Fruit Extracts and Synbiotics.
