For other parents, allergies, asthma and skin conditions in their children are their primary concern. Research has shown that children born by C-section were more likely to have asthma and food allergies (Shao et al, 2019). Scientists suggest this may be related to poor gut health resulting in a dysregulated immune system. OUR STORY Baby Boost was created by Primore’s founding clinician in response to a need that became evident upon the birth of her own child. The paediatrician informed her that her son’s delayed anterior fontanelle closure could be related to vitamin D deficiency, which affects more than 50% of babies globally. Although breast milk is the best food for babies, it contains minimal amounts of Vitamin D, so regular supplementation was required. Despite this, in his early months the baby was continually sick, experiencing high fevers, diarrhoea, vomiting, nighttime coughs, daytime colds and colic, while refusing feeds and losing weight. Extensive research highlighted the link between these symptoms and gut health. The need became clear for a safe and trusted baby-friendly formulation to nourish babies’ gut health and, by extension, overall wellness in their early months and years. Primore Baby Boost was the result of this process. WHAT’S IN IT? Baby Boost contains the major essential strains of Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium specifically tailored for infants and children, as well as Saccharomyces Boulardii, Vitamin C to support growth and iron absorption and Vitamin D for bone health. Each daily dose of Baby Boost contains 3 billion CFU (colony forming units) of live probiotic bacteria (500 million each of Bifidobacterium longum, Bifidobacterium infantis, Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Lactobacillus acidophilus and Saccharomyces Boulardii). With no added sugar, gluten or lactose and without artificial colours or flavours, Baby Boost is free from animal products and does not require refrigeration. A SIMPLE DAILY DOSE In a convenient powder form that can be kept at room temperature, Primore Baby Boost can be mixed with infant formula, milk or juice and can also be added to food.
