Today we are discovering more and more how important the microbiota that live in our intestine are to guarantee balance, health, prevention from diseases. Few, however, know that the microbiota changes with us in the various stages of life. Yovis, Alfasigma’s lactic ferments line, talks about the expansion of the range of food supplements with the novelty, Yovis Bambini.
Un support for the intestinal well-being and the immune system of the little ones
Why the need for a baby product?
The Dr. Gaetano Bottaro, Family pediatrician, already Professor of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Pediatrics at the University of Catania: “In children, alterations in the normal intestinal balance are very recurrent, such as acute gastroenteritis, this because the intestine of children is more delicate and vulnerable than that of adults, especially following anincorrect nutrition o cure her antibiotiche. The bacterial microflora has not yet completed its formation and this can lead to swelling and cause ailments such as recurrent abdominal pain, a common and often protracted disorder in children until the beginning of adolescence. As a consequence, the organism can weaken, the immune defenses are lowered and intestinal disorders can arise. “
The Professor Patrizia Brigidi, Professor of fermentation biotechnology at the Department of Medical and Surgical Sciences of Bologna, confirmation: “Between age trajectory e intestinal microbiota there is a very close link: in addition to being different on an individual level, the human microbiota varies greatly in the different phases of life, enriching itself, diversifying itself, or even impoverishing itself. The bacteria that peacefully colonize our intestines change with age, providing us with a series of metabolic-functional activities calibrated to meet the needs of the different moments of life.
As we grow up, the relative composition of the gut microbiota differs, from infancy to puberty, from adolescence to adulthood, an age in which it assumes a more complex structure, characterized by a high diversity. “
In short, the intestinal microbiota is a plastic multitude that changes with us, based on age and life stages; it must be protected and kept in balance because our health depends on this balance, at all ages.
In fact, it is composed of one multitude of bacteria organized in consortia, defined as “co-occurence networks”, which can have effects positive for the guest but also negative effects.
With eubiosi, we mean a microbiota in equilibrium with the host – be it child or adult – in which the different strains, species and genera of intestinal bacteria work metabolically in synergy for the good of the host, creating gods network microbici, a sort of networks, in which the different bacterial members mutually support each other in intestinal colonization, favoring the so-called “barrier effect” that protects againstto colonization of pathogenic bacteria.
“The other side of the coin” – continue to Professor Brigidi – “Is that, when the intestinal balance fails and we are faced with a situation of dysbiosis, “bad” networks proliferate e to re-establish eubiosis, the profile of the microbiota must be remodeled, for example by administering a probiotic that contains high concentrations, we are talking about several billion live bacterial cells, possibly multi-strain and multi-genus, which are therefore able to integrate the microorganisms lost with dysbiosis and to counteract the growth of pathobionts. “
Chiara Francini, Yovis Brand Manager comments: “The high concentration of billions of live lactic ferments, of different species, genera and strains, makes Yovis products suitable for the inter-individual variety of the microbiota, with solutions suitable for everyone – adults and children – who meet our diversity and life changes”.
YOVIS CHILDREN it’s a dietary supplement without gluten, lactose and sugar it contains 10 billions of live lactic ferments probiotics from 6 different strains, including L. Rhamnosus and L. Reuteri – a help for rebalance the intestinal microflora of the little ones – and more B vitamins: B3, B6 and B12, – to support the immune defenses in this delicate phase of life.
The Yovis food supplements with multi-strain, multi-species and multi-genus probiotics, to help restore the balance of the microbiota, come with a variety of references that should not be kept in the refrigerator and which can be chosen according to your preferences and lifestyle: why each of us has a different intestinal flora, even in the various moments of one’s life, and YOVIS knows it.
