School is an exciting time for children. Although they might fight going to school at first, most kids settle in and enjoy learning and making new friends. As your child steps into this new world, it also means that they are exposed to new viruses and germs that might be lurking around. This is why we hear a lot of parents complaining about their child falling sick when they start going to school. And if your child frequently falls ill, this might unable them to concentrate and learn.1
One of the ways to build a strong immune system is to improve gut health. Your child’s gastrointestinal (GI) tract makes up a large part of their immune system — up to 70% of immune cells live along its path.2 That means, improving gut health will automatically improve your child’s immune system- and you can do this with the latest breakthrough in child nutrition, 2’-FL.
What is 2’-FL & How Does It Help?
2’-FL is a prebiotic that nourishes your child’s first line of defense system in the gut 3. It feeds good bacteria in the gut and supports your child’s immune system. Similac Gain Plus® & Gain Kid® are the world’s first formula with 2’-FL. It is also formulated with nucleotides that are needed to build cells, as well as Eye-Q® system containing 10 key nutrients, such as DHA, Lutein and Natural Vitamin E which are important for overall mental development in a growing child.
With the right combination of nutrition, it’s easy to build a strong immune system so there are lesser sick days during school. That way, your child will be healthier and learn faster too!
