DTECTA ProbioStart Probiotic & Prebiotic
Specially formulated for infants and children with a unique probiotic and
prebiotic blend containing Bifidobacterium infantis and Bifidobacterium bifidum
– the dominant and most important beneficial cultures of friendly bacteria found
in healthy infants and children.
Available in packs of 10 (acute therapy) and 30 sachets (monthly pack for daily
use).
ProbioStart is a specially formulated probiotic and prebiotic blend of the
dominant and most important beneficial cultures of friendly bacteria found in
healthy infants and children. It is designed to be taken by pregnant women,
nursing mothers, and infants & children 6 months+ to 12 years old.
Pregnant and breastfeeding women can take ProbioStart during their pregnancy and
nursing periods to maintain healthy levels of the appropriate types of
beneficial bacteria for child health. In the cases of vaginal birth, a newborn
swallows what will become its first healthy intestinal microflora as it passes
through the mother’s birth canal. This is nature’s way for mothers to inoculate
their babies and provide them with a foundation of healthy bacteria for their
future health. At the time of birth, if the mother has good levels of friendly
bacteria, and the right types to support child health, these will be passed to
the baby during birth! Many pregnant women take ProbioStart during pregnancy for
this purpose.
Following birth, development of the infant’s microflora is influenced by diet
(breast milk / formula), environment, and medication (e.g. antibiotics). The
natural development of bifidobacteria in infants is favoured by breast-feeding,
and studies have found higher concentrations of Bifidobacterium infantis and
Bifidobacterium bifidum in breast-fed infants as opposed to babies bottle-fed
with formulas. Many nursing mothers take ProbioStart while breastfeeding to help
support their child’s levels of friendly bacteria during this time.
From 6 months onwards, introducing ProbioStart into your child’s diet supports
the development of friendly probiotic bacteria promoting good digestive health
and supporting natural immune defences. Medical research shows that a good
balance of friendly bacteria helps support digestion, immunity and energy levels
for all infants and children, in particular: a) formula fed infants, b) infants
delivered by caesarean section, c) preterm (premature) infants (Caesarean babies
and pre-term babies unfortunately do not receive the full benefits of healthy
bacteria from the mother), d) infants and children with allergies and skin
irritations such as eczema, e) infants and children with digestive problems such
as colic, diarrhoea, constipation and lactose intolerance, and f) infants and
young children during and after antibiotic therapy.
The overuse or misuse of antibiotics in infants and children may result in
unhealthy intestinal conditions as antibiotics deplete normal levels of
intestinal bacteria. Unbalanced levels of bacteria can manifest in the form of
allergies and digestive problems in children whereas healthy levels can
contribute to their overall health and wellbeing.
A healthy balance of friendly bacteria in the intestines provides specific
enzymes needed in the digestion of particular substances, production of B
complex vitamins and vitamin K, and improves the absorption and uptake of
minerals and nutrients in the diet, including calcium which is important during
the early years of growth.
Introducing ProbioStart into your child’s diet supports the development of
friendly probiotic bacteria promoting good digestive health and supporting
natural immune defences.
Ingredients
During infancy & childhood the types of friendly bacteria that naturally live in
our intestines are very different from the types found in adulthood and old age.
Bifidobacterium infantis and Bifidobacterium bifidum are the dominant and most
important beneficial cultures found in healthy infants and children during their
early years and have unique benefits in supporting digestion, immunity and
resistance to infection. The prebiotics in ProbioStart help maintain high levels
of bifidobacteria by acting as a food source for the probiotics to flourish in
the intestines.
Bifidobacterium infantis Rosell-33 (1 billion).
Bifidobacterium bifidum Rosell-71 (1 billion).
Lactobacillus acidophilus Rosell-52 (1 billion).
Formula also includes Prebiotic fibres known as fructooligosaccharides 300mg.
Suitable for vegetarians.
Sachets are enclosed in 3 layer laminated sachets for maximum protection against
heat and humidity
DTECTA guarantees 3 billion live micro-organisms per ProbioStart sachet until
the best before date.
Directions
-Infants 6 to 12 months: one sachet per day or as professionally directed.
-Children 12 months and above: one-to-two sachets per day as needed or as
professionally directed.
-Pregnant and nursing mothers: one sachet per day or as professionally directed.
-Food supplements should not be given to infants under 6 months of age without
the advice of a doctor.
-ProbioStart can be easily mixed with your child’s favourite cold foods or
beverages - avoid hot foods or fluids (can be taken with formula milk when it is
at room temperature, but not when heated as heat reduces the viability of the
beneficial bacteria).

cardiac surgery patients, patients with pancreatic dysfunction or patients with
blood in the stool unless under a doctor’s care.
