Pre- and probiotic infant formulas boost immunity

Pre and probiotics in infant formula are found to boost babies’ immune systems.  Breast fed babies acquire beneficial bacteria naturally. But formula fed babies, University of Illinois researchers find, benefit from those supplemented formulas.  Prebiotics are carbohydrates that stimulate the growth and activity of good bacteria in the gut. Probiotics, such as those found in yogurt, are actual live bacteria beneficial to the gastrointestinal tract.
