BioCare Bifidobacterium infantis (INT B1) Powder (60g)
Bifidobacterium Infantis has a unique role in human microecology. At birth the gastrointestinal tract is sterile, and as such, is open to colonisation by many microorganisms present in the enviroment.
In breast fed infants up to weaning, the initial microbial flora is dominated by Bifidobacteria, most notably B.Infantis, with the Lactobacilli being in lower numbers and the Streptococci and Coliforms in lower numbers still. In bottle fed infants, Bifidobacteria suc as B infantis are not normally present in high numbers and the flora is instead a mixture of Lactobacilli, Coliforms and Streptococci.
