Can people of all ages take Prebiotin™ (oligofructose enriched inulin)?
No. Mother’s milk has a natural prebiotic in it, so a newborn will immediately get the right prebiotics. So, infants and small children should not take Prebiotin except with a physician’s recommendation. Here is an interesting additional fact. Not only does mother’s breast milk have natural prebiotics in it, but beneficial bacteria are present as well. So, mother’s milk provides the newborn infant with natural prebiotics and probiotics that give the baby exactly what it needs to start the right bacterial growth in its colon. How wonderful this is!
