LGG –   ally to child’s immunity

The probiotic strain Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG, or LGG for short, is currently one of the most extensively studied probiotic strains in the world, with over 1,000 published scientific studies and over 300 conducted clinical trials. It was discovered in 1985 by the American professors Sherwood Gorbach and Barry Gold and was named after their surnames.

Why is LGG an ally to child’s immunity?

What does scientific evidence say? 

In the past decade, since the stimulating effect of probiotics on the body immunity was observed, a door has been wide open for their use for boosting immune response in humans.

*In 2015, Cochrane - the most renowned global organization for evaluation of scientific research, issued a positive opinion on the use of probiotics in prevention of upper respiratory tract infections, which, in fact, are the most common infections in children. Again, LGG was presented with overwhelming scientific evidence, especially regarding children’s population.

What is the benefit of using food supplements which contain LGG?

The use of food supplements makes an easy and practical way to enrich your child’s diet with useful micronutrients, for which you cannot be sure that are sufficiently present in their regular diet.

For enhanced effect of the product, LGG may be combined with certain vitamins and minerals, which additionally enrich its composition and contribute to the normal immune function of the body.

It is also important that the probiotic in the product is packed separately from the other ingredients, by which the product quality is improved.

And finally, let’s not forget the taste!

Our youngest are often the greatest critics when it comes to the taste of the pharmaceutical products. Therefore, whenever you can, choose a product with a taste which is pleasant and acceptable for your child, so the daily routine would be a pleasure for the whole family .
