Kids Probiotics & Children’s Digestive Supplements

Children’s digestive needs can change as they grow, and choosing a supplement can feel confusing when there are so many different formats and formulas available.

At Evergreen, our kids probiotics and children’s digestive supplements include age-appropriate options designed to complement a balanced diet, including probiotic powders, drops and other easy-to-use formats. The range also includes selected digestive enzymes and other products intended for children’s digestive wellbeing.

Probiotics for Kids

Probiotics are commonly described as live microorganisms found in certain foods and supplements.

Children’s probiotic supplements are formulated with younger age groups in mind, although the strains, serving sizes and recommended ages can vary considerably between products.

If you’re comparing probiotics for kids, check:

• the recommended age
• the individual strains included
• the suggested serving
• the format
• whether the product suits any dietary requirements

Always follow the instructions on the individual product.

Probiotics for Toddlers

Some probiotic products are suitable for younger children, while others are designed for older age groups.

Check the manufacturer's age recommendation carefully and speak to your GP, pharmacist or another qualified healthcare professional if you're unsure whether a supplement is appropriate for your child.

Kids Probiotic Powders, Drops and Other Formats

Children’s probiotics come in several different formats.

Probiotic powders can be a practical option for children who don't take tablets or capsules. Depending on the product directions, they may be mixed into food or drinks.

Probiotic drops and liquids can provide another convenient format, particularly for younger children.

Other products may come as sachets, chewables or capsules.

There isn't one format that's automatically better than another. The most useful choice is usually one that is suitable for your child's age and fits easily into their routine.

What About Probiotic Gummies?

There is also growing search interest in kids probiotic gummies.

Gummies can be an easy-to-take format, but the same principles apply: check the child's age suitability, serving instructions and nutritional information rather than choosing purely by taste or format. Remember, as gummies can look like sweets, always store supplements safely out of children's reach.

Probiotics and Prebiotics for Kids

You may also see children's products containing both probiotics and prebiotics.

Probiotics and prebiotics aren't the same thing. Probiotics contain live microorganisms, while prebiotics are types of fibre that can be used by bacteria in the gut. Some children's supplements combine both in one formula.

If you're comparing products, look at exactly what is included rather than assuming all probiotic products have the same ingredients.

Digestive Enzymes for Kids

Although probiotics make up most of this range, Evergreen also stocks selected digestive enzymes for kids.

Digestive enzymes help break down components of food during digestion. Products formulated for children may contain different enzymes depending on their intended use.

How to Choose a Kids Probiotic

There isn't one probiotic that's right for every child.

When comparing options, consider:

• your child's age
• the strains included
• the manufacturer's serving instructions
• whether the product is a powder, drop, liquid, sachet or another format
• any dietary requirements or allergens
• whether your child is already taking other supplements
