Benefits

Metagenics Ultra Flora Baby Care reduces ear infection and enhances immunity. Ear infection (Otitis media) affects 90% of children under five and is the main reason for antibiotic prescription in children.^1,2 In a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 88 infants, the combination of 10 billion LGG® and 10 billion BB-12® provided significant reduction in the incidence of ear infection when compared to placebo (Figure 1).³  Combined use of LGG® and BB-12® has also demonstrated a decrease in the incidence of ear infection,⁴ atopic eczema⁵ and antibiotic use,⁶ as well as exerting a restorative effect on the microbiome after antibiotic use.⁷ 

Metagenics Ultra Flora Baby Care reduces colonisation of antibiotic resistant bacteria. LGG® research has been shown to reduce antibiotic prescribing in children with acute infections⁸ and helps restore commensal flora after antibiotic use.^9,10 LGG® has also been shown to clear antibiotic resistant bacteria vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE). A study undertaken with 61 infants and children with VRE infection, found 62.5% of subjects using LGG® (alongside antibiotic therapy) were VRE negative after 3 weeks use, compared to 24% in the placebo group.¹¹

Metagenics Ultra Flora Baby Care assists the development of the infant microbiome. Colonization of the gut starts at birth, developing and fluctuating until three years of age, when composition stabilises.^12,13 LGG®, when given to colic-affected infants 6 weeks and under, promotes colonisation of bifidobacterium species (e.g. B.breve) by more than 40%.¹⁴ Originally isolated from healthy infants, both B. longum (BB536) and B.breve (M-16v) strains¹⁵ have been shown to help establish a healthy infant microbiome at daily doses between 5 billion16 and 10 billion.^17,18  All strains in Metagenics Ultra Flora Baby Care have been clinically researched in an infant population.¹⁹
