Preparation:
- Simply mix with your child's favourite foods or drinks - sprinkle the powder over cereal, mix in with yoghurt or dissolve in a glass of water or cold milk.

- Best taken with a meal, preferably with breakfast.
Recommended amount:

My eldest has been taking these for a couple of years. It has definitely helped. I started taking these after my youngest son was born. He's breastfeeding. What a difference they've made! We now have a happy baby and enjoyable evenings again! I seriously can't recommend these highly enough. Thank you OptiBac!

It massively helped my son very quickly to eat food without discomfort. Before taking this product he suffered from regular stomach problems

I cannot rate these probiotics highly enough. I’ve just ordered my third monthly pack and the changes are incredible. I’ve tried other probiotics but they are nowhere near as effective. These are the only ones that have worked for us. I loved the effect that much that me and my husband now take the Everyday extra strength too! I much prefer ordering directly through Optibac rather than Amazon too. Thank you Optibac. Our whole family are benefiting so much.
