When children are born via cesarean section, they are denied exposure to healthy microbes that they would otherwise acquire as they exit the birth canal naturally. This disruption can cause dysbiosis.¹

What is Dysbiosis?

Dysbiosis is an imbalance of microorganisms in the gut. Children afflicted with dysbiosis can exhibit symptoms such as:

• Increased risk of allergies: Dysbiosis disrupts immune system development, potentially leading to allergies, asthma, and autoimmune conditions.²
• Digestive discomfort: Children with dysbiosis may experience bloating, gas, constipation, or diarrhea.²
• Reduced Immunity: Dysbiosis affects immune responses, making children more susceptible to infections.²

Similac TummiCare HW3+’s unique formula can help address the manifestations of dysbiosis. With its Triple Comfort Blend of Partially Hydrolyzed Whey, 2’-FL HMO and nucleotides, your kid is given Triple Protection to:

• help reduce allergy risks by up to 25%³
• help ease tummy troubles⁴ and
• help boost immunity & reduce the risks of common infections by up to 66%⁵ (vs formula with no 2’-FL supplementation)
