  • Publication number: 20110110905
    Abstract: Given the benefits of probiotic and digestive enzyme supplementation separately, a dietary supplement that includes both probiotic and digestive enzymes is advantageous for the treatment of infantile colic. The present invention is a novel supplement containing L. reuteri, lipase, amylase, protease, and in some formulations, lactase. The amount of each ingredient has been optimized so that it can be used, in one formulation, by a breastfeeding mother and, in another formulation, by an infant to alleviate gastrointestinal issues and in many cases decrease the incidence of colic.
