Frequently Asked Questions

What age are ProVen Biotics children's products for?

Our children's Fit for School and Multivitamin chewable tablets are designed for use from four years up, and Fit for School stick packs can be given to children from one-year-old.

We also offer specific products for toddlers and babies.

What is the difference between the chewable tablets and powders?

We have designed two different product types to ensure our products are suitable for all children and their preferences. Most kids love our chewable tablets and particularly our strawberry-flavoured Fit for School chewables.

Some children prefer not to have to 'take' anything specific or separate to their food and we developed our Fit for School stick packs with this in mind. They can be taken directly into the mouth and are delicious taken this way, but are also suitable for adding to cold food or drinks (heat will kill the bacteria).

Are the ProVen Biotics children's products suitable for fussy eaters?

100% yes. Children love our chewable tablets and most happily take them every day (many ask for more than one, but we recommend they only take one a day - although two is perfectly safe!). 

Our stick packs are unflavoured powder and are easy to hide in food and drinks or to pour directly into the mouth, so are a great alternative if your child is particularly fussy and doesn't like the chewables.

What makes the ProVen Biotics children's products different to other brands?

Our children's products contain our own research-backed live bacteria blend known as Lab4, which contains four strains of live bacteria - two Lactobacillus and two Bifidobacteria strains. These two species of bacteria are the most studied worldwide, and our four strains have been isolated from humans and extensively researched together as a group in both children and adults.

Can my child take two-a-day or more - is there a maximum limit?

We recommend one-a-day of our children's products, as this provides the recommended levels of specific nutrients.

The live bacteria strains in our products are recognised as safe and we have done research with adults at higher doses, so there is no level that is known to be 'too much', however there are safe upper level limits for some of the other ingredients in our products. 

Please contact our nutrition experts if you would like to discuss this further.
