HMF® Baby F is a probiotic supplement specifically designed for formula-fed babies. It provides a clinically researched probiotic combination containing Ligilactobacillus salivarius, Lacticaseibacillus paracasei and two strains of Bifidobacteria.1,2 HMF® Baby F also contains fructooligosaccharides (FOS) and transgalactooligosaccharides (GOS), a fibre similar to the oligosaccharides that occur naturally in breast milk.3 As a child's microbial composition and diversity may resemble that of an adult by age 2-5, the first few years of life can be an especially important time for supplementation aimed at supporting the microbiota.4 Research suggests that combining infant formula with probiotics can help promote a microbial composition similar to that of breast-fed infants.5 HMF® Baby F promotes a favourable gut flora and supports gastrointestinal health, and is available in a convenient powder formula that dissolves easily in milk, formula, or water.
