Biostime Infant and Children A-L-G Care, 28 sachets

$64.95

Parents often look for a gut-focused probiotic when a baby or child has skin that stays irritated and they want to support immune health from the inside. Biostime Infant and Children A-L-G Care is a flavourless oral powder for infants from 1 month of age and for children. Each 1.5 g sachet contains three probiotic strains, 2'-fucosyllactose, zinc and vitamin D3. It may help relieve symptoms of mild eczema and dermatitis, and support immune system health and skin health. If you're not sure where to begin, our gut health for children page is a good starting point.
Benefits
  • Three probiotic strains: LGG at 1 billion CFU, BB-12 at 1 billion CFU and Bifidobacterium breve M-16V at 5 billion CFU per sachet.
  • Prebiotic included: 500 mg of 2'-fucosyllactose and 736.80 mg of fructooligosaccharide per sachet.
  • Zinc and vitamin D3: 2 mg of zinc and 10 micrograms (400 IU) of vitamin D3 in each sachet.
  • Easy to give: Flavourless powder that's mixed into food or drink, from 1 month of age.
  • Single serve: One sachet a day, and no refrigeration is needed.
  • Mild eczema: May help relieve symptoms of mild eczema and dermatitis, including itchy skin, redness and scaling (ARTG 496532).

We stock this because the strains are named on the label, each with its CFU count, and the formula pairs them with a prebiotic, zinc and vitamin D3. It's flavourless and mixes into formula or soft food, which makes daily use practical for families with babies and young children. The brand lists what it's free from, including milk protein, soy and nuts.
How to use

1 to 12 months: one sachet daily, added to infant formula that does not already contain 2'-fucosyllactose, or to a soft food. 12 months and older: one sachet daily, added to water, toddler milk, milk or a soft food. Consume immediately after mixing. Some powder may settle. Take once daily, or as directed by your health professional.

FAQ
What age can A-L-G Care be given from?

The label allows use from 1 month of age. Babies aged 1 to 12 months have the sachet added to infant formula without 2'-fucosyllactose or to a soft food. From 12 months it can go into water, milk, toddler milk or soft food. Speak with your health professional for age-specific advice.

Can A-L-G Care be given with breastmilk?

Not on the same day. The label says not to give it on the same day as breastmilk or other products containing 2'-fucosyllactose, because this ingredient is naturally present in breastmilk. The 2'-fucosyllactose in the sachet isn't derived from human breastmilk. Check with your health professional.

Does A-L-G Care need to be kept in the fridge?

No. The brand states the sachets don't need refrigeration. Store them below 25°C in a cool, dry place and do not use a sachet if the carton seal is broken or the sachet is torn. Mix the powder and give it straight away.
