Why you should consider Innolac for your kids

After a child’s birth, bacteria quickly starts to colonize the intestines. A child’s immune system is continuously challenged by infectious microbes, allergens and irritants. Children given antibiotics may develop an imbalance of good and bad bacteria in the intestines which leads to different diseases.

By replenishing good bacteria strains in the gut and balancing “friendly” and “unfriendly” bacteria, Innolac ® Kids helps to maintain good intestinal health.
