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:

Both our children (1 and 3yrs) love having these in a bit of milk after their porridge in the morning. We think these are a really important part of growing and staying healthy.
-
Since giving my daughter OptiBac 5 months ago, I highly recommend and can’t praise these enough.
-
My eldest has been taking these for a couple of years. It has definitely helped his immune system. The condition of his skin is improved (he has eczema). 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!
