Did you know that nearly 70% of the immune system resides in the gut? For children, a healthy digestive system is the foundation of strong immunity, better nutrient absorption, and overall growth. That’s where probiotics and prebiotics come in.
What Are Probiotics and Prebiotics?
· Probiotics: Live beneficial bacteria that improve gut flora.
· Prebiotics: Soluble fibres that act as “food” for probiotics.
Together, they create a balanced gut environment that supports digestion and immunity.
Why Gut Health Matters for Kids?
· Frequent antibiotics disturb gut bacteria.
· Processed food and sugar reduce good bacteria.
· Poor gut health = weak immunity, poor nutrient absorption, frequent illness.
