Each sachet of Bio-Kult Infantis contains seven strains of live bacteria, which the company says are “proven to survive the high acidity of the stomach”. These strains help to reduce diarrhoea in infants, improve constipation and improve symptoms of eczema, the company says. Infantis also contains vitamin D3, as well as Preplex, DHA and EPA – all high in omega-3 fatty acids.
