我们身体中70-80%的免疫细胞位于肠道内.

人体65%以上的免疫细胞存在于肠道.它负责食物的消化和营养的吸收. 这就是为什么我们必须谨慎对待食用的食物的原因. 高加工或含有大量糖的食物可以改变我们的肠道细菌.因此，正确的补充剂可以帮助我们获得正确数量的益生菌，下面将对此进行将要介绍.
described below.

什么是益生菌？

有益微生物对我们的肠道健康和免疫至关重要，因为它可以防止坏的或有害的肠道细菌过度生长，这种状态被称为“营养不良”。世界卫生组织（WHO）将益生菌定义为活微生物，如果给予足够的量，可以为宿主带来健康益处。

为什么益生菌对整体健康很重要？

准妈妈的健康状况对她未出生的孩子的成长有至关重要的影响。在生命的1000天内，母亲的微生物组成也对婴儿的健康产生深远的影响，尤其是对预防婴儿湿疹等过敏。 以下是益生菌对健康的一些已知好处–

  • 它促进系统中的好细菌, 对于建立更强大的免疫系统至关重要, 有利于皮肤健康
  • 它可以促进心理健康, 支持体重管理, 它有助于保持心脏健康
  • 它有助于保持心脏健康
  • It may promote mental health
  • It supports weight management
  • It helps in maintaining healthy heart

孩子1000天后还需要益生菌吗？

在生命的前1000天之后，环境仍然对孩子的生长发育，肠道免疫力，大脑和认知功能产生深远影响。实际上,呼吸道和胃肠道感染是全世界5岁以下儿童死亡的第二大原因. 在这个阶段，由于免疫系统仍在不断完善，而随着社会和学习环境的扩大，他与外界细菌和病毒的接触也大大增加，儿童的免疫力将不断受到挑战。良好的免疫系统可以保护孩子免受内部伤害，这将使母亲避免很多情绪困扰和干扰孩子的学习过程.。

如何选择适合的益生菌 ?

市场上有大量的益生菌在销售，这使得如何选择正确的益生菌变得复杂。以下是为您和亲人选择适合的益生菌的一些建议指南。

稳健的安全性和功效

益生菌通过属种和菌株进行鉴定：例如，长双歧杆菌BB536。菌株名称很重要，因为相同类型细菌的不同菌株可能对健康有不同的影响.重要的是要强调,益生菌的生物学作用是特定于菌株的,并且一个菌株的成功与失败不能外推到另一个菌株.

与人体的兼容性

益生菌中使用的细菌来源可以来自人类，动物或植物。实际上，许多人并不知道市面上出售大多数益生菌都来自动物来源。其中一些已经有过很好的研究, 但是更多的关于它们对人体的影响还没有得到很好的科学证实. 人类菌株对人体而言是更好的益生菌，因为它们来源于人体，主要是科学家从婴儿肠道中提取的，因此与宿主具有高度的相容性。

细胞数（CFU）

益生菌是以每克或每份菌落形成单位（CFU）进行测量，这是产品中的活细胞计数。然而，更高的CFU计数并不等于较好的功效，也不能保证活细胞在整个保质期内都存在.。选择一种含有适量益生菌菌株的益生菌产补充剂,这些菌株已被临床证明是有效的。 

天然盾牌与科学

The Natural Shield FAMIBIOTICS has developed comes with 3 main active ingredients to meet the health needs of different life stages in the family – ImmuG® and Lactoferrin.

ImmuG®

全称是“Immunity from the Gut”（肠道里的免疫力）。ImmuG混合菌株包含了为母婴早期阶段特别选取的菌株搭配：ImmuG™ 2含四种HRB/乳酸菌菌株（短双歧杆菌M16V、婴儿双歧杆菌M63、鼠李糖乳杆菌GG、鼠李糖乳杆菌HN001），均通过临床验证、能为母体提供多方面健康保障。

乳铁蛋白

Major protein in human breast milk conferring immunity. When taken together with ImmuG® forms a total protection system in the gut. ImmuG® helps to support the gut and immune system, while Lactoferrin modulates the immune responses and promotes the growth of beneficial bifidobacteria. Lactoferrin plays a complementary role by eliminating bad bacteria and viruses. It also enhances optimal cell activity within the gut.

常见问答：

Any conditions under which FAMIBIOTICS are not suitable/recommended?

A: Probiotics ingredients in FAMIBIOTICS are already used by children hospitals in developed countries such as Japan, New Zealand, Australia and Singapore for various conditions. The active ingredients are generally regarded as safe and suitable for all conditions. But we believe the best nutrients a mother can give to her child are still those contain in human breast milk. If for whatever reasons breast feeding is not possible, mother can choose FAMIMOM for the specific health benefits it was formulated. As probiotics are not medicines meant for treatment of existing health conditions, please see your doctor for advice if in doubt.

Can I consume FAMIBIOTICS warm?

A: Yes. You may consume it directly after opening the sachet within an hour after opening. But do not heat the bacteria if you are mixing it with food or beverage beyond 40 degrees Celsius as the bacteria will die if subjected to high temperatures.

Are FAMIBIOTICS suitable for vegans and do they contain any dairy?

A: FAMIBIOTICS is suitable for vegan from health maintenance perspectives as they promote healthy growth of good bacteria in gut microbiota.

Can I take FAMIBIOTICS if I am taking antibiotics?

A: Yes. The product does not interfere with the functions of antibiotics. But antibiotics do kill off bacteria in the gut both good and bad. Always take probiotics an hour before taking antibiotics. Consult your doctor if in doubt.

Can expectant mother take FAMIBIOTICS?

A: FAMIBIOTICS is a well formulated probiotics designed to benefit expectant mother to ensure nutrients are absorbed and pass on to babies while providing protection against bad bacteria in the gut. Boosting of immune system through the gut is essential to the health of both mother and child.

Can FAMIBIOTICS be taken with other medications?

A: It is recommended to take probiotics at least 1 hour before taking any medications.

Can I take FAMIBIOTICS if I am breastfeeding?

A: Yes. In fact, FAMIBIOTICS is a well formulated probiotics with a lot of good bacteria utilises the human milk for the benefits of the baby, it will also reduce the incidences of bad bacteria passing on to the baby via breast milk.

Can I take FAMIBIOTICS if I am lactose intolerant?

A: Generally, the probiotics do not create any adverse reactions even if consumer is suffering from lactose intolerance. If you are in doubt please consult your doctor

How do I take FAMIBIOTICS?

A: For mother, you may either take it directly or mixing with your preferred food or beverage. Make sure the temperature is below 40 degrees and consume as soon as possible.

Where do the bacteria in FMAIBIOTICS come from?

A: They are thousands of bacteria that good for health. Some of the good ones may even fight against each other, negating the efficacy they are known for. They are only 50 plus species known to be from human source or what we called Human-Residential Bifidobacteria (HRB). Out of which a handful are found to be beneficial to gut health even when they are mixed together. Clinical studies have shown the strains used in FAMIBIOTICS are not only beneficial to the gut immunity but also have synergistic benefits on gut health when taken together.

Are there side effects from consumption?

A: FAMIBIOTICS use only bacteria strains that have been associated with long history of safe use. There is a body of research on Bifidobacteria and Lactobacilli done by more than 15 scientists across the world on the gut immunity. More than 1000 research papers have been published and there are no known side effects associated with the use. In fact, some of the strains have been adopted by children hospitals in Japan for treatment of severe gut conditions.

How are the strains in probiotics sourced and what GRAS stands for?

A: There are several sources one can source for bacteria strains. The selection of HRB bacteria in FAMIBIOTICS are better as they are derived from infant intestines by scientists. These human strains are isolated and cultivated according to the highest food standards that are approved by Japanese authorities and USFDA such as GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe). Without this certification, the strains are not approved for use by mom-to-be, expectant mother, lactating mother or children.

What are the known HRB and Lactobicilli bacteria known to be suitable for mother and baby?

A: They are a handful well researched species of HRB and Lactobacilli bacteria currently available with clinical validation on each of the strains. They are selected based on the superior health benefits and safety. The well-known such as Human-Residential Bifidobacteria BB536, M16V, M63, B3, Bi-07. Lactobacilli strains are Rhamnosus GG, HN001. Acidophilus such as NCFM are already available in the market with the support of clinical studies.

Why are they better than any other source of bacteria used in probiotics?

A: Besides human strain bacteria, they are also animal or plant sourced bacteria. Most of the commercially available probiotics strains are derived from animal source. A lot of which has not been tested for rejection/acceptance by human body. A well formulated probiotics should have research studies on safety and uses only quality bacteria whether they are Human-Residential Bifidobacteria or Lactobacilli. This is important especially if they are used in promoting healthy microbiota of mother and baby.

Are there any artificial colours, flavours or preservatives added to FAMIBIOTICS?

A: Generally, food-grade coloring or flavors with approval from local food agency or authorities in Japan and Singapore. Countries such as Japan have a long history of using approved food-grade flavours in probiotics. Preservatives of even though they are food grade are generally not recommended and therefore not used in FAMIBIOTICS during production.
