Lactobacilli and Bifidobacteria are the most commonly used probiotics, and they effectively colonize the intestines. The human intestinal tract contains more than 400 bacterial species, and a healthy bacterial balance is necessary for a healthy gastrointestinal tract. Probiotics promote the presence of beneficial bacteria, and strengthen the epithelial barrier. Probiotics transiently impact the host’s microflora, as once their ingestion ends, they decline in numbers.  As the microflora composition in children is relatively unchanged after infancy, it significantly depends on the diet.\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\r\n\t \u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\r\n\tHMF Natogen provides a highly-concentrated, ratio-specific combination of \"healthy bacteria strains\" Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus paracasei and Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis, essential to the development and maturation of the newborn's immune and digestive system reducing the risk of infections such as cold and flu.
