Study Specifics

‍

What's infant colic?

Infant colic is when an infant has sudden outbursts of inconsolable crying for more than three hours per day, more than three days per week.
Common symptoms of colic are flushing of the face, frowning, tensing of the abdomen, clenching of the fists, drawing up of the legs, and frequent, prolonged, and intense crying or fussiness in a healthy infant. Prevalence of infant colic varies but it affects an estimated 1 in 5 infants.
For this study, your infant does not require any prior diagnosis of colic.

Probiotic oil information

This is a placebo-controlled study. A placebo is a non-active version of the probiotic that is being evaluated in the study
Two probiotic strains are being investigated in the study
Both the probiotic and placebo come in an oil formulation
