What makes Infloran® Australia’s clinically proven infant & baby probiotic?

The introduction of Infloran1 to Australia began in 2012 when a team from Sydney’s Nepean Hospital embarked on finding a suitable probiotic for preterm infants.
The principle was to help colonise the gut with beneficial bacteria, those found in healthy breastfed infants to support immune function and assist with healthy digestion.
Infloran® was carefully selected and is today found in many Australian Hospitals, a testament to its quality, safety and clinical efficacy.

About Infloran®

Infloran®   Carefully selected for your child’s first 1000 days

The first 1000 days are crucial for shaping our microbiome.
Influenced by many factors including mode of delivery, environment, antibiotic use and diet this diverse microbial community plays a pivotal role in our health for our entire lives.

The gut microbiota of a healthy infant is populated predominately with Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus species. They help balance and restore intestinal bacterial flora, preventing colonization by pathogens, improving the maturity and function of gut mucosal barrier and modulating the immune system.
If this microbial community becomes disturbed, often referred to as dysbiosis it can present with many symptoms.

Infloran® – a probiotic previously only found in Australia’s Neonatal Units was carefully selected for its high level manufacture, taxonomy of strains and ability to alter health outcomes is now available in pharmacy.

Infloran® is used for:

  • helping to restore beneficial intestinal flora and diversity
  • supports beneficial intestinal bowel flora during and after antibiotic use
  • supports gastrointestinal immune function
  • promotes and enhances healthy digestive system function
  • helps reduce and relieve diarrhoea
