How to select probiotics from the market?
Colony-forming Unit (CFU)

There are wide range of probiotics with count range of 1 to 10 billions CFUs per day. It is important to get a quality brand so that the number of live probiotics stated on the package is reliable [ 1 ] .

Strain

Some studies have shown that multi-strain probiotics are more effective than single strain probiotic. Strain should be scientifically and clinically proven. Both Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are scientifically proven to have positive effect on immunity and gut health, and to promote healthy digestion [ abc ] [ 3 ] . [abc]

Important Notice and Declaration

Breast milk is best for babies. Professional advice should be followed before using an infant formula. Introducing partial bottle feeding could negatively affect breast feeding. Good maternal nutrition is important for breast feeding and reversing a decision not to breast feed may be difficult. Infant formula should always be used as directed. Proper use of an infant formula is important to the health of the infant. Social and financial implications should be considered when selecting a method of feeding.
