Comash Dry Syrup

Comash Dry Syrup from Amista Labs is a scientifically formulated prebiotic and probiotic oral suspension enriched with Zinc Gluconate, specially designed to support gut health, digestion, immunity, and recovery from diarrhea, especially in pediatric and general practice. This advanced formulation helps restore the natural balance of intestinal microflora while strengthening the body’s immune defenses.

The Power of Composition: A Synbiotic Formula

Comash Dry Syrup is not just a standard probiotic; it is a powerful “Synbiotic” formulation fortified with Zinc. This means it combines Probiotics (good bacteria), Prebiotics (food for the good bacteria), and Zinc (essential mineral) to offer a triple-action benefit.

Each 5ml of reconstituted suspension contains:

1. Zinc Gluconate (20mg)

Zinc is a critical micronutrient endorsed by the World Health Organization (WHO) and UNICEF for the management of diarrhea.

• Role in Diarrhea: Zinc supplements reduce the duration and severity of diarrhea episodes. It helps regenerate the intestinal mucosa (lining of the gut) damaged by infection.

• Immunity Booster: Zinc acts as a gatekeeper for the immune system, helping white blood cells function effectively to fight off viruses and bacteria.

2. The Probiotic Blend (417mg)

Comash contains a potent blend of four specific bacterial strains: Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacterium longum, Bifidobacterium infantis, and Bifidobacterium bifidum. Together, these provide over 2.5 Billion Active Spores at the time of manufacture.

• Lactobacillus acidophilus: Naturally found in the digestive tract, this bacteria aids in the breakdown of sugars (like lactose) into lactic acid. It creates an acidic environment in the gut that is hostile to harmful pathogens like E. coli or Salmonella.

• Bifidobacterium infantis & B. bifidum: These are among the first bacteria to colonize a baby’s gut. They are crucial for reducing inflammation and are specifically effective in alleviating symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and strengthening the intestinal barrier.

• Bifidobacterium longum: Known for its ability to stabilize the gut microbiota, it helps prevent constipation and reduces the side effects associated with antibiotic use.

3. FructoOligosaccharides (FOS) (25mg)

Probiotics need fuel to survive and colonize the gut effectively. FOS is a Prebiotic—a non-digestible fiber that acts as food specifically for the beneficial bacteria in the Comash formula. By including FOS, Amista Labs ensures that the probiotics remain active and multiply rapidly once they reach the child’s digestive system.

Key Indications and Usage

Comash Dry Syrup is a versatile formulation indicated for several gastrointestinal and immune-related conditions.

1. Treatment of Acute and Chronic Diarrhea Diarrhea flushes out the body’s natural gut flora. Comash replenishes these “good soldiers,” shortening the recovery time. The addition of Zinc specifically targets the reduction of stool volume and frequency.

2. Restoring Gut Flora (Antibiotic-Associated Diarrhea) When a child takes antibiotics for an infection (like a throat or ear infection), the medicine kills both bad and good bacteria. This often leads to antibiotic-associated diarrhea. Comash Dry Syrup is essential during and after antibiotic courses to re-seed the gut with healthy microbiome.

3. Relief from Bloating and IBS Symptoms Children often complain of tummy aches, gas, or irregular bowel movements. The Bifidobacterium strains in Comash help regulate bowel motility, reducing bloating and the discomfort associated with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS).

4. Boosting Digestion and Immunity Since nearly 70% of the immune system resides in the gut, a healthy digestive tract means a healthy child. Regular use during illness helps improve nutrient absorption, ensuring the child gets the most out of their food.

Why “Dry Syrup”?

You may notice the product comes as a powder that needs to be mixed with water (reconstituted). This is a mark of quality. Live bacteria (probiotics) are sensitive to moisture and heat. By keeping them in a Dry Syrup form, Amista Labs ensures the bacteria remain dormant and stable while on the shelf. They only become “active” when you mix them with water right before the first use, guaranteeing maximum potency for your child.
