With 3 billion bacterial cultures and a Vitamin D booster, it helps maintain a healthy gut and overall well-being. The sachets are easy to use, and my child has no problem taking it. I’ve noticed an improvement in their digestive health and immunity. This is a great option for anyone looking for a reliable, gentle probiotic for their little ones. Highly recommend it!

Quite expensive but for us it’s worth the money. Both our kids have it in their milk and it really helps them to keep healthy bowel movements.Keep buying again and again just wish the price would come down

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for young ones as it has no taste so it can be added to anything!

My three year old has been taking this with his milk for 30 days now. It's not really showing any signs of help that I bought it for, but there's no harm in the goodness that he's getting from it. So I'm going to still continue giving it him even if it's not doing what I bought it for, if that makes sense. There is no taste to it as I tasted the powder on its own for myself.

5.0 out of 5 stars Definitely order again

4.0 out of 5 stars she was fine all along but did get once or twice loose ...

Took these for my 2 year old on travel to India to help keep the gut flora in balance, gave it with the milk formula almost every day. our daughter was doing all the normal things that two year olds do, touching all surfaces, putting everything in the mouth and we were worried that she my get some dysentery related issues, she was fine all along but did get once or twice loose motion so next feed time we gave one dose of the probiotic that seem to bring her back to normal the next time she went to toilet.I wouldn't say to any parent that these probiotics are the answer to keeping healthy while travelling in developing countries but for us we wanted some support and felt it did provide some help to my daughter from not developing long duration loose motion or diarrhoea.Also we did stick to eating cooked food and filtered or bottled water.

5.0 out of 5 stars TIcks a lot of boxes

Bought these for my daughter who is on antibiotics and seems to have a lower immunity generally. She will take them while she is on antibiotics and for a couple of days after to give her gut flora and immune system and nod in the right direction. I wouldn't give them longer than necessary.The bacteria used look appropriate, and probably safe particularly over a short course, which is of course the number one consideration.It comes in a sachet which you can mix with food or a drink. This obviously makes it easier to hide, very important when trying to give to a child.It does have a taste to it, Ive tasted it myself with water, not necessarily a bad taste but a REALLY fussy child MIGHT notice and turn their nose up. Mine is quite fussy but chugs it down quite happily with yoghurt or ice cream. Its pretty easy to hide.One slight drawback is mixability, it does sometimes clump rather than mix in. Havent worked out why yet but I'm sure there's something that can be done. Mixing it with a drop of water first into a paste and then mixing into food is an option worth considering, but Ive not had to do that yet. Theres not that much in a sachet anyway, a few grams, so no big deal.As for efficacy, always hard to say, but daughter is nine days into her antibiotic course and has not yet had the "antibiotic runs".I actually think they might be beneficial for me too (I have SIBO issues) so I will be taking them for a couple of weeks once daughter has finished her course. A different strain of B-Infantis for example is in adult Align which is more expensive, and fared badly in recent trials. This may be a better alternative for those adults like me who are interested in the potential benefit of B.Infantis.Optibac is a brand I trust, they just do probiotics instead of just dabbling in it which is a good sign. They also invest in research.I have also used their Saccromyces Boulardii product myself and found it well tolerated and surprisingly effective (I have low expectations!).
