Probiotics with Jamieson Canada
The first time I really heard or understood what a probiotic mean’t was back almost 5 years ago when Max was a little baby. For some reason all of my babies are sensitive to the foods I eat, therefore any “gassy” or spicy foods that the baby received through my breast milk would upset their sensitive tummies. Instead of avoiding all gassy foods like I did with Jack as a baby, I introduced a baby probiotic to Max which helped support gastrointestinal (stomach and intestines) health. Since then I’ve been giving my kids probiotics to help with their digestive health!

Our family has been using Jamieson for years and they are also known as one of Canada’s most trusted brand of vitamins. They have been around for over 100 years and are the purest, safest and most effective natural health solutions available on the market!
This month, Jamieson and I are focusing on probiotics “the good bacteria” that are essential to good health for the whole family.
Here are a few benefits of probiotics:
- Probiotics play a role in a very large number of functions in your digestive system such as fibre digestion, dietary nutrient absorption, and defence against harmful bacteria. They are found in dairy products such as yogurts, cheeses and milk based beverages, as well as probiotic supplements. However, not all probiotics are created equal. If you are taking probiotics for a specific digestive issue, you need to ensure you are getting the right strain, in the correct amounts for your specific digestive issue.
- A significant portion of our immune system relies on our digestive tract.
- Things that can disrupt your digestive balance include antibiotics, poor nutrition, stress, illness and inflammation and travel. Some side effects when you are out of balance are irregular bowel movement, diarrhea, constipation, intermittent abdominal pain, reduced immunity, fatigue and compromised nutritional absorption.
- Jamieson has developed a line of products formulated to help you through the various life stages, whether it be for babies, children, adults or 50+
- Almost all Jamieson Probiotics are suitable for vegetarians
