Probiotic Supplement for the Improvement of Colic Symptoms • Helps improve the relief of infant colic symptoms such as crying, fussiness or irritability • Helps reduce crying time and frequency within 7 days • Effective for formula-fed and breastfed babies • Helps support gastrointestinal health HMF Baby Drops probiotic provides a clinically studied combination of two strains, Bifidobacterium longum subsp. longum (KABP-042™) and Pediococcus pentosaceus (KABP-041™), which help relieve infant colic symptoms such as crying, fussiness or irritability. Infant colic, or excessive crying syndrome, is a behavioral syndrome in infants aged 1-5 months characterized by long periods of crying and difficult-to-soothe behavior.1 Infant colic is classified as a functional gastrointestinal disorder (FGID)1 and is one of the most common causes of pediatric visits during an infant’s first 3-4 months of life.2 Research has shown that the gut bacteria of infants with colic are less diverse than those of healthy infants, and it has been suggested that the difference in gut microflora plays a significant role in the pathogenesis of colic. According to a recent clinical trial, infants receiving the probiotic combination, Bifidobacterium longum subsp. longum (KABP-042™) and Pediococcus pentosaceus (KABP-041™) included in HMF Baby Drops, demonstrated an increase in gut microbiome diversity, in addition to exhibiting a 69% reduction in crying time. The probiotic combination in HMF Baby Drops has been shown to be effective in helping to relieve colic symptoms in both breastfed and formula-fed infants.5 Floradapt™ and KABP™ are trademarks of Kaneka Corporation.
