 | ProIMMUNE BOOSTDid you know that your child’s immunity begins to develop from the moment that they are born? Your child’s digestive tract is flooded with friendly bacteria immediately after birth. In fact, it is the natural process of birth that initiates the development of the immune system. Nourishing your child’s intestinal tract with Probiotics promotes protective gut barrier functions which in turn boosts & improves your child’s immune system. Did you know that studies show that vaginally born infants have a different micro flora to caesarean born infants? So by supplementing your child’s diet with Probiotics it may in fact stimulate and boost their immune function.
Probiotics Supplementing your child’s diet with L. acidophilus and B. bifidum may assist in boosting immune responses and increasing the quantity of cells responsible for immune defence in your child’s body. In healthy children, B. bifidum may assist in boosting immune responses by increasing the levels of IgA. IgA is found in high concentrations in breast milk and may act as a natural barrier against microbes. L. acidophilus may also assist in post antibiotic therapy to normalise the micro flora in your child’s digestive tract. |

Contains 3 billion live friendly bacteria per serve If your child has a deficiency of friendly bacteria they may be vulnerable to illness The human body requires an abundance of friendly bacteria within the GI Tract to fight off illness. This is because the GI tract is a vital part of the immune system.1 Many types of bad bacteria enter the infants system through their GI tract. |  |
| If your child is deficient in good bacteria then their defence against bad bacteria is weakened, and they may be prone to sickness and illness. Lifestyle and environmental factors may predispose infants and children to likely causes of gastrointestinal upsets which may increase the risk of infections and allergies. Risk factors include caesarean birth, formula feeding as apposed to breast feeding babies, the probiotic status of the mother, infections, antibiotics and impaired digestive function such as constipation and diarrhoea. |
Deficiencies in Friendly Bacteria may be directly related to many digestive Problems in Children
If your child’s digestive system is deficient in friendly bacteria, they may experience one or more of the following health problems; constipation, irregular stool movements, colic and wind, bloating, diarrhoea, bad breath, poor digestion and allergies.

Introducing ProImmune Boost ProIMMUNE Boost was specifically designed to enhance the immune function of infants and young children.
Hundreds of hours of clinical research have gone into formulating ProIMMUNE Boost. In fact, the formula itself has been involved in trials with great success. At this very moment a study is being conducted through the University of NSW involving Australian infants in an Australian environment.
ProIMMUNE Boost is a delicious, high quality Multi-Prebiotic and Probiotic blend containing 3 billion live friendly bacteria and Oligofructose in every 1.5g sachet. Each sachet of ProIMMUNE Boost provides your child with 3 special stains of intestinal flora; Lactobacillus acidophilus, the most abundant strain of beneficial bacteria in the human body; Bifidobacterium infantis is responsible for gastrointestinal development in infants; and Bifidobacterium bifidum, another primary probiotic found in the digestive system of healthy infants.
All 3 strains have a primary role in the development of the immune system of infants and children. ProIMMUNE Boost comes in a convenient sachet, that can be mixed with water or breast milk, making it easy to administer to babies and children. Supplementing your child’s diet with intestinal flora may be both very beneficial and nourishing for the immune system and digestive health.
Protection for the whole family
| Have you ever had a child sick with a tummy bug who brings it home to your other children who then passes it on to the whole family? Children pick up germs so easily from their environment such as the playground, playgroups or pre-school, school, toilets, playing in the dirt and even from animals all while doing what they do best - being children! Well, with ProIMMUNE Boost you can provide your children with protection against nasty germs.
What is Oligofructose (FOS) ProIMMUNE Boost contains Oligofructose (FOS) which is a non digestible fructose molecule. FOS helps to maintain the health of your children’s immune system by reducing intestinal permeability and promotes the growth of Bifidobacteria in the digestive tract. Bifidobacterium then ferments FOS to form acetic acid and lactic acid which enhances the function of the intestinal wall thus assisting with immunity, digestion and overall wellbeing. Put simply, FOS is a food source for beneficial bacteria and can increase its beneficial activity several fold. This is why FOS is known as a prebiotic because it encourages probiotic growth and activity. |

Assists with lactose intolerance
Some young children may be lactose intolerant from birth; others react to milk formula and an intolerance develops later. The symptoms of lactose intolerance associated with babies include wind, bloating, flatulence, abdominal pain and diarrhoea. L. acidophilus found in ProIMMUNE Boost may assist with lactose intolerance and may be used in the management of lactose intolerance in both young children and adults.
