We know we haven’t written in a while, and we’re trying to change that! There are some exciting new developments at both TAP and Natren that we will be sharing with you in the next couple of weeks. In the interim, here are some interesting probiotic articles we found, along with the probiotic supplement we recommend that corresponds to the article… Enjoy and Comment Often!
The Story: Probiotics for Babies

The Take Home Message: Every baby’s diet should be supplemented with high-quality probiotic supplements, as recommended by Dr. Michael Yaffe, who is quoted in the article.
TAP recommends: Natren’s LifeStart for Babies (at least one teaspoon blended into formula or mother’s milk paste every day).

The Story: Our Bodies are Covered in Bacteria Both Good and Bad– especially our Armpits
Reported By: National Geographic
The Take Home Message: We are more bacteria-based than we thought; we should be looking at bacteria for answers to many of our questions, including why we develop certain diseases and illnesses. (2) Probiotic Skin Care can also help sway the balance towards good bacteria on the surface of the skin…
TAP recommends: Natren’s Healthy Trinity as the ultimate everyday supplement in probiotics. Take at least one pill a day to sway the balance of bacteria in your body to the good guys’ side! For external use, we recommend Natasha’s Probiotic Skin Creme by Natren for use everyday after cleansing and before sunscreen application.

Hi Natasha,
I know you have done a lot of study and are an authority on Probiotics.
I have been doing a lot of research, and have found it very interesting to discover that there has been alot of positive reports regarding the Probiotic called Bifidabacterium infantis 3…. for chronic diarrhea etc.
I have been living the torture of Crohns disease for the past 47 years, with its chronic diarrhea, and painful gas and fatigue.
I am not taking any medications, now and havent for the past 12 years, but was on all the drugs many years ago, to no avail.
As you can imagine I have tried most products, and many Probiotics that I have spent my life savings trying to get better.
I know you do have a poriduct called Lifestart 2 that has this bacteria that I am interested in obtaining, however I would like your thoughts, and costs to me here in australia.
Thankyou so much, for a great website.
Kind regards,
