Probiotics are generally considered safe for healthy children. Bio-K+ probiotics contain live and active bacteria from three clinically studied strains, backed by more than 30 years of research.* Parents of children with a compromised immune system, or those considering probiotics for infants under two years of age, should speak with a healthcare provider before starting. For healthy children, daily probiotic use can be a simple, science-backed part of a family wellness routine.

Bio-K+ Kidz Probiotic Powder Stick Packs are formulated for younger children; check the product label for the recommended age range and serving directions. For children who can swallow capsules, Bio-K+ probiotic capsules are also an option. For infants under two, consult a healthcare provider before introducing any probiotic. Starting gradually and observing your child’s well-being is always a sensible approach as you build a daily routine.

A quality children’s probiotic meets three criteria: strains identified by genus, species, and strain code on the label; a bacteria count guaranteed until the expiration date, not just at the time of manufacture; and finished-product research rather than ingredient studies alone. Bio-K+ lists all three of its clinically studied strain codes on every label and guarantees its bacteria count to the expiration date, backed by 16 published clinical trials.*

Antibiotics can affect intestinal bacteria alongside targeting harmful bacteria, and many parents look for ways to support their child’s gut health during treatment. Bio-K+ probiotics promote digestive health* and can be taken during or after a course of antibiotics. To minimize any interaction, give the probiotic at least 2 hours after the antibiotic. Always consult your child’s healthcare provider before starting any new product during treatment, particularly for young children under two.
