Lactobacillus GG (LGG®) is the world's most researched probiotic strain for infants and children. These easy-to-administer drops provide 1 billion CFU per 5 drops, helping to restore healthy gut flora, reduce infantile colic (crying time by up to 50%), prevent antibiotic-associated diarrhea, and strengthen the developing immune system. The oil-based formulation protects probiotics from stomach acid, ensuring maximum viability. Ideal for newborns, infants, and toddlers.
Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (ATCC 53103) is the most extensively studied probiotic strain in pediatric populations,
with over 200 clinical trials. Key evidence:
Infantile colic: A meta-analysis of 5 RCTs (n=600) showed that LGG significantly reduced mean daily crying time
by 50 minutes compared to placebo, with effects seen within 7 days.
Antibiotic-associated diarrhea (AAD): LGG reduces AAD risk in children by 60% (NNT=6) when given concurrently with antibiotics.
Atopic dermatitis prevention: Administration of LGG to pregnant mothers and infants reduces incidence of eczema
by 30-40% in high-risk families (consistent with the "hygiene hypothesis").
Acute diarrhea: LGG shortens duration of infectious diarrhea by approximately 1 day and reduces hospital stay.
The oil-based drop formulation ensures high stability and survival through stomach acid, delivering viable bacteria to the gut.
