Doctor Life / 01

Pro+Pre Biotic for Children

Made for your daily routine.

We paired live cultures with four prebiotic ingredients to create a synbiotic formula. It brings bacterial diversity and prebiotic ingredients together in a formula designed for children.

Microencapsulated bacterial cultures sit inside a capsule designed to resist the stomach's acidic environment. These two protective layers are intended to help the cultures reach the intestines. The capsule contents can be mixed into food or a drink that is not hot. Each bottle provides a 60-day supply.

Pro+Pre Biotic for Children

Why does a child's gut microbiome matter?

A child's gut microbiota develops as they grow and interacts with digestion, the intestinal barrier, and the developing immune system. Diet, infections, antibiotics, travel, and new daycare or school settings can affect its composition. These considerations informed our multistrain children's formula, with four prebiotic ingredients and two protective layers.

What research informs Pro+Pre Biotic?

Pediatric studies have explored selected probiotics during antibiotic treatment and periods of frequent contact with other children. A review of more than 6,300 children found a lower incidence of antibiotic-associated diarrhea, with a clearer benefit at amounts of at least 5 billion CFU. Other analyses have examined respiratory infections and days missed from daycare or school. Results depend on the strains and study conditions and should not be assumed to apply to this finished product. The formula provides 8 billion CFU with four prebiotic ingredients.

FAQ / Pro+Pre Biotic for Children

Good questions. Clear answers.

Talk to us ↗

How does a synbiotic differ from a probiotic?

A probiotic provides live microorganisms. A synbiotic combines them with prebiotic ingredients. This formula pairs 14 bacterial strains with four prebiotic ingredients.

Why does the formula contain 14 strains?

The microbiome contains many different microorganisms. We combined Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium cultures in a varied blend for children. Each capsule provides a total of 8 billion live cultures. Strain diversity alone does not establish effectiveness.

What age is this product suitable for?

This product is intended for children over 3 years old. Give one capsule daily, preferably on an empty stomach or two hours after a meal. If your child has a chronic condition, takes medication, or has specific health needs, ask a pediatrician or pharmacist before use.

Can I open the capsule?

Yes. You can empty the capsule into food or a drink that is not hot, making it easier for children who have difficulty swallowing capsules. Use a small amount your child will consume immediately. Do not mix the contents into hot food or liquid.

Does the product need refrigeration?

Store at room temperature, up to 25°C, out of reach of young children. Refrigeration is optional and may help preserve the viability of the probiotic cultures.

How long does one bottle last?

Each bottle contains 60 capsules. At one capsule daily, that is a 60-day supply.

Can I take it during antibiotic treatment?

The product may be part of a child's gut health routine during and after antibiotic treatment. Ask a doctor or pharmacist about timing and duration, as the appropriate interval between the antibiotic and synbiotic depends on the medication.
