Probiotics for babies and infants
Before birth, the foetal gastrointestinal tract (GIT) is more or less sterile. Bacterial colonisation begins with the rupture of the amniotic membrane and during vaginal birth, bacteria from the mother's intestinal and vaginal sites colonise the neonatal GIT within a few hours of birth.
A child’s microbiome (community of micro-organisms) is less resilient when compared to an adult’s microbiome, leaving it more susceptible to changes in response to dietary choices, illness, antibiotic treatment, the environment and lifestyle factors. This can leave children at greater risk of digestive and immune disturbances.

Oestrogen metabolism in men and women
Our exposure to oestrogen begins in foetal development and too much oestrogen, or the wrong ratios of oestrogen, can lead to hormonal imbalances in both men and women. Supporting phase I and phase II liver detoxification processes can help support healthy metabolic pathways of oestrogen in the liver.

We’ve got you covered this winter
A strong healthy immune system can quickly detect and destroy potentially harmful bacteria, viruses, fungi or other substances that appear foreign or harmful. An unhealthy immune system is unable to mount an effective immune response, leaving you more vulnerable to infections and illness generally.

Saccharomyces cerevisiae (Boulardii), commonly known as SB, is a live yeast with probiotic-like activity that helps maintain a healthy digestive tract, supports healthy immune function and helps reduce the occurrence of symptoms of diarrhoea associated with antibiotic use and traveller’s diarrhoea.
Healthy digestion for a healthy you
Issues with digestive function can affect most of us at some point in our life. Maintaining a healthy gastrointestinal tract (GIT), particularly a strong intestinal barrier, can help to support both your immune and digestive systems. Ultimately, a healthy digestive system means a healthy you.

How can I help eliminate intestinal worms?
Worms are parasitic organisms that require a host to live in, and they obtain their food supply from the host, or at the expense of the host. In this case, that host could be you! Worms, particularly threadworms, are very common in Australia, and children are at greater risk of developing a worm infestation.
What are signs of an unhappy liver?
