Early childhood is a time of great discovery and growth as young children gradually become more involved with their environment. Not only are their brains and bodies developing, but the early years of life are essential for the proper development of digestive and immune functions. Quite simply, these systems are the first line of defense against a new environment and all the complex microbes that accompany it.
Although many nutrients are necessary for healthy immune regulation, such as zinc, vitamin D, and vitamin C, it appears that cross-talk between the bacteria living in the human digestive tract and the many complex immune cells is even more important in ensuring a balanced immune response. There is a strong argument to be made that the positive impact of a healthy diet on the body's immune function is in fact largely due to the positive modulation of the gut microbiome. For example, the risk of certain atopic conditions such as eczema and allergies can be positively manipulated through the use of specific probiotic strains during infancy. Specific probiotic strains have also been shown to improve colic symptoms and reduce crying episodes in infants.
Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus GG and Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. Lactis DSM 15954 are two of the most studied probiotic strains on the market, with dozens of clinical trials, either individually, in combination, or with other unique probiotic strains. For example, Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus has been studied in infants with successful improvements in antibiotic-associated diarrhea, cow's milk allergy, dental caries, prevention of otitis media, and overall infection risk. Bifidobacterium animalis has been studied for the risk of respiratory tract infection and the treatment of atopic eczema in infants, as well as constipation in adults. Together, these two powerful strains have been shown to help regulate blood sugar during pregnancy and prevent respiratory tract infections in infants.
