Nutergia Ergyphilus for Children: Natural Defenses is a source of vitamin D3, which is essential for children’s growth and bone development. This formula also contains lactobacilli and bifidobacteria, which together help strengthen the natural defenses of your child aged 0 to 8 years.
Children’s immune systems are particularly sensitive and can be weakened by various factors such as an unbalanced diet, medication, cesarean delivery, lack of breastfeeding, or situations involving stress and anxiety. These factors can promote the proliferation of pathogenic bacteria at the expense of beneficial gut flora.
This imbalance in the gut microbiota is often the cause of digestive disorders such as colic, diarrhea, or spitting up, as well as increased vulnerability to viral infections. To effectively support children’s natural defenses and maintain the balance of their gut flora, Nutergia has developed Ergyphilus for Children, a dietary supplement specifically formulated to meet the needs of young children. This formula combines three carefully selected probiotic strains—naturally present in breast milk—with vitamin D3, which is essential for proper immune system function and normal bone growth.
Each packet contains three billion live cultures: one billion Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG, one billion Lactobacillus fermentum, and one billion Bifidobacterium bifidum infantis. These microorganisms are able to survive stomach acid and bile salts, allowing them to reach the intestine where they can fully exert their beneficial effects. They help restore and maintain healthy gut flora while supporting the body’s natural defenses.
Ergyphilus for Children is particularly recommended for common digestive disorders in children, as an adjunct to antibiotic therapy, or in situations where the microbiota may be weakened, such as when a child is not breastfed or was born via cesarean section. It is also recommended during periods of increased vulnerability, particularly in winter or when children are in group settings such as daycare or school. Formulated without allergens and without microencapsulation, this probiotic supplement benefits from Nutergia’s expertise in quality. It is stored at +4°C to ensure the viability and effectiveness of the strains until consumption. With Ergyphilus for Children – Microbiota and Natural Defenses, you’re providing your children with a natural, gentle, and scientifically validated solution to support their development, strengthen their immune system, and promote their daily digestive well-being .
We also offer Puressentiel Acti Pure Children’s Syrup 125 ml, which relieves your child’s sore throat and stuffy nose.
Directions: Give your child 1 packet per day. Dissolve the contents in a bottle, in 50 ml of water, or mix it into fruit puree. It’s best to use a cold or lukewarm mixture to preserve the live microorganisms.

The gut microbiota develops gradually during childhood and can vary depending on many factors. To use this supplement properly, mix the packet with a cold or slightly warm beverage, but never a hot one, as high temperatures could affect the viability of the probiotics. If taking antibiotics, ideally space out the intake of the supplement and the antibiotic by at least two hours, unless otherwise recommended by a doctor or pharmacist. A varied diet, rich in fruits, vegetables, and fiber, is also important for sustainably supporting a child’s gut ecosystem.
At what age can I start giving Ergyphilus for Children to my child?
Ergyphilus for Children is suitable for children 1 year and older. It is still recommended to consult a doctor or pharmacist before starting any supplementation containing vitamin D.
How can I prepare Ergyphilus for Children without damaging the probiotics?
It can be diluted in a bottle, in 50 ml of water, or in fruit puree. It should be mixed with a cold or lukewarm preparation, as a temperature that is too high could reduce the viability of the microorganisms.

To be digested, lactose must be hydrolysed by an enzyme called lactase, which some people lack in adulthood. Defects in this genetic programme in most of the world's population are often the cause…
