Probiotics are very safe for children1,2 and it’s not thought to be possible to ‘overdose’ on them. The added ingredient in Optibac Probiotics Babies & Children, vitamin D, also has a safe upper limit which is many times the level included in this supplement. But generally it's best to stick to our recommended daily amount of 1-2 sachets, especially if your child takes other vitamin supplements containing vitamin D. If you have any concerns, please contact our nutrition team.
Yes Optibac Probiotics Babies & Children is vegetarian. There is no dairy present at any stage of the manufacturing,and the probiotic strains are vegan, but the added vitamin D3 is vegetarian.
If you were previously using BioKult Infantis supplement for your children, you will know that this product has been discontinued. Fortunately, we’ve got you covered! Optibac Babies & Children is an ideal BioKult Infantis alternative, and you may find that your children prefer it. Like the BioKult Infantis probiotic sachets, our Babies & Children sachets contain Fructooligosaccharide (FOS) fibres to nourish and maintain natural gut bacteria, and vitamin D to support immune health. But unlike BioKult Infantis, Optibac Babies & Children is also dairy-free and suitable for vegetarians.
Optibac Babies & Children doesn’t contain a B. infantis strain or a generic multi-strain probiotic formula. Instead, we’ve carefully selected the three high-quality probiotic strains in Babies & Children, including the world’s most researched live cultures strain3, Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG, because they’re extensively and specifically researched in infants and children.
If your children prefer drops or gummies, then check out our other highly researched, specifically formulated kids’ probiotic products in our Shop.
Probiotics are not recommended for those with serious medical conditions e.g. those who are severely immunosuppressed, have pancreatitis, are in the ICU, have melaena, have a central venous catheter, infants with short bowel syndrome, or patients with open wounds following major surgery; unless under a doctor's care. Keep out of reach of children.

Need help choosing a product?Since my older daughter was born 7yearsagain, I started to buy this product; they work so well. I'm feeding my second daughter with this product again.
Totally love this product, I have both my children on these probiotics my eldest boy being 6 and my youngest girl being 9 months. It supports both of them with immunity and helps my little girl with wind after her bottle. I put the powder in her last bottle at night and she sleeps through contently. When I have run out previously she has woken several times so I know they must be helping her stomach.
Excellent product!
