Assessing the development of intestinal flora in breastfed infants
The intestinal flora is crucial for the well-being and health of infants and young children, and the microbial colonisation of the intestine can have an effect on immunological development, but the intestinal flora is also particularly sensitive and exposed to many disruptive stimuli, especially in the first 12 months. This can influence the stability of the microecological environment.
The stimulation of NK cell and macrophage activity on the one hand and the stimulation of sIgA synthesis on the other is ensured by the diverse immunogenic properties of various intestinal germ species. Of particular importance is the immunohomeostatic effect, which is ultimately essential for a balanced TH1/TH2 balance and for the development and maintenance of oral tolerance. This makes it clear that the intestinal flora is a primary protective factor with regard to atopic risks in childhood.
Furthermore, allergic inflammation of the colon and rectal mucosa in infants can lead to intestinal bleeding in the colon area. Concerned parents notice regular or occasional admixtures of blood in the form of blood clots or small admixtures of blood when changing nappies.
This test is designed for breastfed infants.

Sensible nutritional supplements after a sensible analysis!
Vitamins and minerals can best be dosed if you know exactly what your supply or deficiency of a nutrient is. Our customers can now take this into their own hands with the test kits from Medivere! Buying directly from Medivere has the advantage that you always get the freshest set (even test sets have a best before date, after which they are unusable). It also makes more sense than buying through our shop, as you have direct contact with Medivere and the test laboratory. Therefore, we only act as an intermediary here, for this advertising with the link"To the article" we receive a remuneration from Medivere. As a thank you, we will send you a 5% voucher for your next purchase (please request this by email, Medivere does not automatically inform us of this).
