Pour les enfants

Probiotics are generally considered safe for healthy children. The Canadian Pediatric Society's 2022 position statement notes that in older children, probiotics can be considered to help prevent antibiotic-associated diarrhea and C. difficile-associated diarrhea, and that Lactobacillus species may be considered for abdominal pain related to functional digestive disorders. 

However, probiotics require special caution in at-risk children, specifically those who are immunocompromised, have an active malignancy, are born prematurely, or have central venous catheter access, critical illness, or impaired intestinal barrier function. These children should not take probiotics without explicit guidance from their healthcare provider. 

Bio-Kidz are suitable probiotics for healthy children aged 2 and above. It is a well-tolerated daily option made with certified gluten-free ingredients, organic fruit extracts, and no artificial colours or flavours. Always consult your child's healthcare provider before introducing any supplement, including probiotics.

Choosing the right probiotic drink for your child can be difficult. The right probiotic for a child depends on their age, dietary needs, and specific health situation. For children aged 2 and above in Canada, Bio-Kidz is a clinically studied option: it delivers 12.5 billion live bacteria from three proprietary probiotic strains per bottle, includes Vitamin D3 (Made with vitamin D fortified skim milk powder), is certified gluten-free, and is made in Laval, Québec. Bacterial count is guaranteed until the best before date when refrigerated, not just at the time of manufacture.

Bio-Kidz is a dairy-based Canadian-made probiotic drink for kids; it is not suitable for children with a dairy allergy or milk protein sensitivity. For families managing dairy restrictions, consult your child's healthcare provider to identify an appropriate dairy-free alternative. Always confirm the best choice for your child's specific needs with a qualified healthcare professional.
