The gastrointestinal microbiota in children, also referred to as gut flora, comprises the diverse microorganisms residing in the human digestive tract. Research indicates that maintaining a gut flora composed predominantly of beneficial bacteria—approximately 80%—is fundamental to health.
Scientific studies have demonstrated that an imbalance in gut microbiota, particularly where pathogenic bacteria predominate, is strongly associated with the development of various chronic health conditions.
Examples of the problems associated with poor gut health
- Unhealthy weight : Obesity, Overweight
- Loose Stool : Clear sign of poor bowel health
- Poor Immunity : Fall sick regularly
- Poor skin condition : Acne, Eczema, Skin flares
- Poor mental health : Lethargic, tired regularly, difficulty remembering
- Irregular Bowels : Difficulty moving bowels, Poor digestive health
- Stomach Discomfort : Pain in stomach
- Bad Breath : Especially in the mornings, built up of bad bacteria
How do probiotics contribute to the maintenance of a healthy gut flora?
Probiotics are beneficial microorganisms that confer health advantages when administered in appropriate quantities. Their consumption has been shown to support digestive tract health by restoring and increasing populations of beneficial bacteria, thereby outcompeting harmful bacteria present along the gastrointestinal walls.
In the absence of beneficial bacteria, pathogenic organisms may colonise and dominate the intestinal lining. Probiotics also enhance the absorption of nutrients and vitamins, as well as assist in the elimination of toxic compounds from the digestive system. Ensuring an adequate intake of specific probiotic strains is essential for maintaining optimal gut microbiota balance.

Promoting Better Digestive Health
Digestive issues such as occasional upset stomach, gas, bloating, or diarrhoea can significantly impact quality of life. These conditions are often associated with an imbalance of beneficial bacteria in the digestive tract.
The probiotics found in Lactokids+ are formulated to help restore the natural balance of good bacteria in children's intestines, supporting optimal digestive function and enhancing immune health.
Strengthens your child's immune function
Probiotics consist of beneficial bacteria that support immune function and promote healthy digestion. While bad bacteria are often associated with disease, probiotics represent helpful strains that contribute positively to gut health.
Lactomin and Lactokids offer convenient packaging, allowing the product to be easily administered directly onto the tongue or added to beverages (Non hot). These probiotics assist in maintaining a balanced gut microbiome, supporting immunity, and aiding the body's natural defenses.
To ensure optimal effectiveness from a probiotic supplement, it is important to consider the specific bacterial strains included and the clinical evidence supporting their digestive and immune benefits. The primary consideration should not be the total number of probiotic organisms, but rather the proportion that survives to reach and colonise the gut.
Lactomin and Lactokids have been carefully formulated with a balanced selection of clinically supported strains at appropriate levels for digestive and immune health, providing a comprehensive probiotic solution for children.
Eczema or Atopic Dermatitis
Children with atopic dermatitis show clinical improvement after lactobacillus exposure.
The effects of L.paracasei (LP) and L.fermentum (LF), when used in combination, showed the supplementation resulted in clinical improvement in children with AD. The FDLQI and CDLQI scores were lower in the LP, LF mixture group than in placebo group (p=0.02 and 0.03). In subgroup analysis, SCORAD scores significantly decreased after probiotic treatment especially in children younger than age 12.
This shows, Lactokids + has a positive effect on AD, and helps to prevent and relieve AD in children.

Childhood represents a critical period of continuous development, during which parents play a key role in supporting the healthy growth of their children. It is common practice to provide nutrient-rich foods—such as fruits for dietary fibre, fish for cognitive development, and milk for bone health. However, establishing a robust digestive and immune system early in life is equally essential.
A child’s digestive and immune functions are predominantly formed within the first few years, with much of this development occurring in the gastrointestinal tract. As children progress through various developmental stages, their digestive systems must adapt to dietary changes, exposure to pathogens, and fluctuations in the intake of substances like sugar and salt.
These ongoing adjustments can occasionally result in digestive disturbances. Accordingly, the introduction of beneficial bacteria at an early stage is an important measure to support the long-term digestive and immune health of children.
By providing children with a probiotic supplement such as Lactokids+, beneficial bacteria are introduced into their gastrointestinal tract. Regular intake of Lactokids probiotics supports the maintenance of the natural balance within the digestive and immune systems, thereby contributing to proper physiological function and overall well-being.
Children may not always be able to articulate their discomforts, making it vital for parents to play an active role in promoting robust immune and digestive health for their child.
Manufactured in Korea, Lactokids+ is specifically formulated for children from infancy through the age of sixteen.
It offers a comprehensive probiotic formula that prioritizes both safety and efficacy, aligning with parental expectations for high-quality supplements.
Lactokids+ is composed entirely of natural ingredients and is designed specifically for infants and children. Probiotics are essential for reinforcing the body’s defense mechanisms against harmful bacteria by maintaining the equilibrium between beneficial and harmful microorganisms in the digestive system.
A healthy digestive system is fundamental to optimal child health, and the natural composition of Lactokids+ reflects extensive scientific research, including trials and testing. The product promotes improved digestive health through a patented (USA) blend of Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacterium longum, and S. faecalis / S. thermophilus.
Additionally, six extensively researched strains—Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus paracasei, Lactobacillus fermentum, and Bifidobacterium bifidum—are included, distinguishing this product from other children’s probiotics.
The formulation also contains vitamins B1, B2, B5, B6, B9, and D3, along with colostrum, calcium, and prebiotics, all of which support and strengthen healthy growth.

Lactokids+ represents a comprehensive and holistic probiotic solution formulated to meet the immune and digestive health needs of children.
Recently in 2021, some interesting data have emerged regarding gut health and SARS COV-2 infections.
It is known that children for the most part have healthier guts than adults. The initial hypothesis focused on what in particular afforded children this protection.
They found significant data linking the gut microbiome to this Immuno-protection. Children’s gut microbiome differs slightly from adults.
We all know the benefits of probiotics and many practitioners recommend that probiotics contain a particular species called Bifidobacterium. Well, it turns out that children have much higher levels of Bifidobacterium in their guts than adults do.
This species actually constitutes the major gut microbe present in children under the age of 10.
These levels begin to decrease as we age and are very low in the elderly and adults with certain conditions such as obesity and diabetes. A comparison of Bifidobacterium concentrations in the gut of children ranges from 60-80% compared to 20-40% in adults and less than 10% in the elderly with some high-risk groups as low as 1%.
Bifidobacterium has been investigated extensively in previous studies and has been found to provide specific benefits to the immune system and in modulating immune cell mediators.
They discovered that many of the immune signaling mediators and pathways were the same ones affected in severe SARS COV-2 infections. Interestingly enough, although Bifidobacterium levels decline with age, when posed with an infection or perceived intruder to the body, these pro-inflammatory mediators lead to a hyper exaggerated immune response which leads to tissue damage.
In these high-risk individuals, the immune system overreacts, leading to severe illness. Bifidobacterium has been shown to down-regulate Interleukin-6 levels and actually increase certain anti-inflammatory markers.
Bifidobacterium thus represents a very viable and low-risk option for prevention and building up immunity for the individual.

Approximately 70% of the human immune system is located within the gastrointestinal tract. The gut plays a critical role in supporting immunity by activating the body’s natural defences and providing a protective layer of beneficial bacteria along the intestines. Establishing and maintaining a healthy digestive system is therefore essential for optimal immune function.
A balanced gut environment regulates the populations of beneficial and potentially harmful microorganisms in the digestive tract, which is vital for maintaining overall digestive health. Lactokids+ has been clinically studied and is shown to be effective in alleviating symptoms such as stomach upset, constipation, gas, and bloating.
Additionally, it supports improved digestion, immune function, and may help relieve atopic dermatitis.
Lactokids+ probiotics are formulated specifically for infants, toddlers, pre-schoolers, and primary school-aged children (up to 12 years old). The product is 100% natural, GMP certified by the Korea Food and Drug Administration (KFDA), manufactured in Korea, and trusted by consumers worldwide. Each serving contains 10 billion CFU and features nine key probiotic strains:
• Lactobacillus acidophilus
• Lactobacillus rhamnosus
• Lactobacillus plantarum
• Lactobacillus casei
• Lactobacillus paracasei
• Lactobacillus fermentum
• Bifidobacterium bifidum
• Bifidobacterium longum
• Streptococcus thermophilus
How good a probiotic is not in the count but in survivability of strains
The efficacy of a probiotic is determined not by its colony count, but by the survivability of its strains. Probiotics are highly susceptible to various environmental factors including temperature, humidity, and exposure to gastric acids. Despite this, consumer education often focuses on probiotic quantity—measured in billions of colonies—rather than on strain viability.
In reality, ingesting a probiotic supplement with 100 billion CFUs may result in less than 2% of those bacteria reaching the gut if the strains are unprotected.
This low absorption rate is primarily due to a lack of protective mechanisms; approximately 98% of uncoated strains fail to survive passage through the stomach. Additional losses occur due to unfavorable storage conditions, such as fluctuating temperatures and high humidity, which can reduce viable strains by up to 59%.
Even encapsulated probiotics are vulnerable if capsules are opened before consumption, as lactic acid bacteria are immediately exposed to air and perish rapidly.
It is important to note that the human intestinal tract is exceptionally lengthy—comparable to the length of a double-decker bus—making the journey for unprotected probiotic strains extremely challenging. Without effective protection, few, if any, will reach the intestines or penetrate the intestinal wall.
Lactokids addresses these challenges with its patented SPCC double microencapsulation technology, which safeguards each probiotic strain against temperature, humidity, and stomach acidity. This system enables the product to withstand storage temperatures up to 33°C, whereas most competing brands require refrigeration or storage below 25°C—a considerable advantage in hot and humid climates such as Singapore or Southeast Asia.
The SPCC double coating involves two encapsulation layers followed by a unique organic matrix barrier, forming a robust, natural protective layer. This microencapsulation acts as a physical shield, mitigating both physiological and environmental stressors. By ensuring targeted release in specific sections of the intestines, SPCC technology promotes optimal probiotic delivery, enhances colonization rates, and supports the maintenance of healthy intestinal walls.
