LoveBug Probiotics CEO Ashley Harris said, "I co-founded LoveBug after the birth of my son, when I was diagnosed with Candida and Leaky Gut. I personally know the health impacts of a healthy microbiome, and our two and a half year old son takes probiotics daily. Developing Tiny Tummies and Little Ones with our team of scientists and doctors was a labor of love. I want to help others transform their heath the way mine was transformed through the power of probiotics."
LoveBug CFO Benjamin Harris said, "The global probiotics ingredient market is projected to reach $46.55 billion by 2020. The prescription and consumption of probiotics alongside antibiotics (which kill good bacteria as well as bad) is becoming increasingly more common. The U.S. market is growing steadily as consumer awareness continues to expand, driven by millennials and mothers."
Both Tiny Tummies and Little Ones will be available for preorder at a 20% discount at Expo West. Preorder by visiting the LoveBug Probiotics team at booth #1481 or by visiting www.lovebugprobiotics.com/product/preorder/

Background on the Importance of Gut Health and microbiome diversity to childhood development:
An imbalance in the gut microbiome has been linked to an ever-growing list of health conditions; allergies, asthma, diabetes, obesity, bowel disorders, some cancers and because of a gut-brain connection, even conditions like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and autism. Recent research suggests that there is a relationship between a modern Western lifestyle and low intestinal microbiome diversity.
The first years of life are crucial to the physical and mental development of children. A child's microbiome is seeded during birth as a child passes down the birth canal. Between the ages of six months and three years, the number of different microbial strains in a child's tummy increases 10x from 100 to 1,000. By the child's third birthday, the gut microbiome stabilizes and closely resembles the microbiome of an adult.
About LoveBug:
LoveBug was founded after the birth of Ashley and Ben's son, Hudson. Ashley was prescribed broad-spectrum antibiotics as a preventative measure during her hospital birth. Within weeks of giving birth she started suffering severe migraines, lethargy, itchy scalp, itchy ears and eyes, and finally eczema. These conditions were so unusual for her she sought to find the answer as to why.
After seeing an ENT, a dermatologist, a neurologist, and several other doctors she was diagnosed with Leaky Gut, Celiac, and Candida – all problems which led back to her gut health – she had a dysbiosis of her microbiome. Following medical advice, she made changes to her diet and started taking probiotics to bring her gut back in to balance. She was amazed by the drastic transformation in her health and so inspired by the power of probiotics that she decided to create the most effective probiotics on the market today. LoveBug Probiotics was born.
