Designed to support a healthy immune system:

GOOD START^® NATURAL CULTURES™ is a routine starter formula with the live, active probiotic cultures of Bifidobacterium lactis (B. lactis)
Designed to help support a healthy immune system by balancing the intestinal flora promoting cultures similar to those found in the digestive tract of breastfed infants^¹⁶
- Bifidobacteria are the predominant species in the GI tract of breastfed infants^¹⁶
- GOOD START^® NATURAL CULTURES™, with the probiotic B. lactis, helps balance the intestinal flora and supports a healthy immune response
