HMF Natogen is a combination of four patented human-sourced probiotic strains that supports gut health in young children. Babies born prematurely, by cesarean section, or those exposed to perinatal or postnatal antibiotics have low colonization of intestinal bacteria. Probiotics are safe for young children and effectively colonize the intestines, critical barriers that selectively allow assimilation or promote excretion of dangerous substances. The human digestive tract contains more than 400 bacterial species, and bacterial balance must be maintained to have healthy intestines. Probiotics compete with pathogenic bacteria for colonization of the digestive tract and promote the presence of beneficial bacteria. In addition to reducing the survival of bacteria, probiotics strengthen the epithelial barrier. They control permeability by monitoring the integrity of tight junctions and prevent pathogenic adhesion to epithelial cells by increasing the release of mucins onto the intestinal surface. Together, these processes decrease the entry of bacteria from the gut into the circulation. Probiotics have a transient impact on the host microflora; once their ingestion is complete, their number decreases or disappears. Since the composition of the microflora in children remains relatively unchanged after infancy, it is highly dependent on diet, even more than in adults.
