Your baby’s healthy immune system
Your baby’s immune system is a complex network of cells, tissues, and organs that work together to keep her healthy. Many of us don’t realize that approximately 70% of the cells of your baby’s immune system are found in her digestive tract. Having a healthy balance of cultures there is very important to developing and maintaining a healthy immune system.
Scientists have learned that the digestive tracts of breastfed babies appear to have high levels of certain beneficial cultures, and many experts believe that these high levels may be one of the reasons breastfed babies are generally so healthy.
Babies who are breastfed have an abundance (up to 90%) of one particular type of beneficial culture in the digestive tract. This beneficial culture is called Bifidobacteria. And Nestlé found a way to add Bifidobacteria to GERBER® GOOD START® PROTECT PLUS® formula with NATURAL CULTURES™.
