Isolated from breastmilk
Lactobacillus fermentum CECT5716 is a probiotic isolated from breastmilk which:
- has a history of safe prolonged intake by newborns and infants;
- is uniquely adapted to reside both in the human digestive tract and in human breastmilk and to interact with the human baby.
So it's safe for both mother and baby and may play a critical role in establishing a healthy microbiome in infant.
Single strain & supported by evidence
It is important to select the right probiotic strain researched for and suited to your needs.
Many probiotic companies provide broad spectrum probiotics containing multiple strains in a single dose. However, clinical trials for probiotics are usually conducted with a single strain, and it is unclear how multiple strains in a single dose may interact with or inhibit each other.
Containing only a single strain probiotic, Lactobacillus fermentum CECT5716, Qiara Infant is an evidence based strain, and its use and expected outcomes are supported by clinical trials.
