While they quickly and effectively helped some babies get rid of unpleasant symptoms and restore healthy intestines, mothers of other babies report that this drug was useless for them.

“We took Espumisan, which the doctor prescribed. Everyone hoped that he would help. Relief came, but not for long. Then the pediatrician recommended Rela Life. These drops are, of course, much more expensive, but literally from the first dose the colic disappeared. My son began to sleep well, his mood and general well-being improved! It’s also nice that the drug is created on a natural basis, and not like other products that are full of chemicals!”

However, not all reviews are so positive. Some mothers say that this drug simply did not help them or only brought temporary relief. But someone actually thinks that taking these drops significantly increases pain!

Pharmacological properties

At birth, the baby has a sterile intestine. Then the mucous membranes and the organ itself begin to populate numerous bacteria, which protect the body from colonization by pathogenic microorganisms, ensure the synthesis of various substances, and support the immune system.

Normally, there should be a small amount of pathogens in the body. Humans also need sufficient amounts of beneficial bacteria to protect the body from over-colonization by pathogens. In the human body there is a constant battle between “bad” and “good” bacteria.

If symptoms of dysbiosis begin, such as constipation, diarrhea, therefore, the number of harmful organisms exceeds the norm. To maintain balance and prevent diseases, the intestinal microbiota should be maintained in a normal state. Beneficial bacteria or probiotics help do this.

Probiotics are living organisms found in various substances. They provide beneficial effects that stimulate the growth of healthy bacteria to maintain balance between the digestive and immune systems. Living microcultures affect the body through lactobacilli. Bacterial strains are used in the production of medical preparations – probiotics.

Lactobacilli colonize the infant's mouth, stomach, small and large intestine from the first weeks of life, and this initial balance is critical in determining proper digestive rhythms later in life.

These "friendly" microorganisms are classified depending on their bacterial order, family and genus. Thus, Lactobacillus reuteri can be described as belonging to the order Lactobacillales, family Lactobacillaceae and genus Lactobacillus.

Research has shown that the antimicrobial characteristics associated with probiotics help reduce internal inflammation, as well as normalize gut flora and protect the body from airborne or ingested pathogens.

While normal antibiotics and other similar drugs destroy "good" bacterial colonies as well as "bad" ones, living microcultures have been shown to be much more selective in their immunomodulatory activity in the body.

There are various probiotic strains for children that actively treat and prevent common diseases. Some probiotics for children can treat diarrhea, eczema, and prevent colds.

The Swedish company BioGaia is a well-known manufacturer and supplier of Lactobacillus reuteri, which is resistant to many antimicrobial agents. The use of this strain helps in the treatment of many disorders associated with microflora disorders.

Children should have 5 to 10 live cultures, or CFUs (a measure of the number of viable microorganisms), per day for a balanced system with plenty of beneficial bacteria, and most probiotic supplements help children achieve this goal.

To determine the correct amount of microcultures for your child's needs, you should consult your pediatrician, as CFU may vary in different preparations.

Rela Life for newborns contains 10⁸ CFU of lactobacilli, which means 100 million beneficial bacteria.

The probiotic contained in the drug has many positive characteristics:

• is not actively exposed to bile acids and gastric juice;
• natural in origin;
• creates numerous colonies in the intestines;
• not exposed to antibiotics;
• does not suppress gram-positive bacteria;
• produces antimicrobial substances.

Abdominal pain is a worrying symptom for many children, and its causes are often difficult to determine. Probiotics are believed to relieve and prevent digestive problems.

• Functional abdominal pain in children. Lactobacilli or "good" bacteria not only help break down food and speed up the absorption of nutrients, but also ensure that the "waste" resulting from these processes is removed in a timely manner and with fewer side effects. That is why the Lactobacillus reuteri supplement contained in Rela Life drops reduces bloating, gas formation, and constipation.

• Research shows that the presence of this probiotic in the human gut leads to increased levels of folate or vitamin B12, which in turn promotes the formation of red blood cells and improved emotional health.
• Live bacteria are able to fight the intestinal pathogen Helicobacter pylori. If left untreated, this harmful bacteria can lead to even more serious diseases such as peptic ulcers and gastritis.
• Probiotics reduce the frequency and duration of diarrhea symptoms and counteract constipation. Bacteria, producing acetic, lactic and other acids, help lower the pH in the large intestine. Reducing acid has a beneficial effect on colon contractions and reduces the time it takes for processed contents to be removed from the body.
• The use of probiotic bacteria helps support immune function.
• Gram-positive Lactobacillus reuteri may be an effective treatment for necrotizing enterocolitis in premature infants and may reduce the incidence of sepsis and shorten the length of hospital stay in this group of children.
• Since probiotics are known to maintain immunomodulatory regulators within normal limits, the use of Lactobacillus reuteri has been found to improve skin reactivity in childhood atopic dermatitis and also reduce the risk of allergic reactions.
