Kiddi-Flora
Marco Pharma Int'l
Overview
The effectiveness of Kiddi-Flora is primarily supported by the inclusion of well-researched Bacillus Coagulans and the prebiotic NutraFlora FOS. While Lactobacillus Sporogenes is listed, it is functionally similar to Bacillus Coagulans. The CFU count for Lactobacillus Sporogenes is substantial, but the amount of Bacillus Coagulans is low and listed in FCC units rather than CFU, which makes direct comparison and assessment of its efficacy challenging. The FOS dose is also below typically effective levels.
The Good
Contains spore-forming probiotics (Lactobacillus Sporogenes/Bacillus Coagulans) that can survive stomach acid.
Includes a prebiotic (NutraFlora FOS) to support beneficial gut bacteria.
Chewable format with natural raspberry flavor is convenient and appealing for children.
The Bad
The dose of NutraFlora FOS (200mg) is significantly below the clinically effective range (5g/day) for prebiotic benefits.
The amount of Bacillus Coagulans is listed in FCC units, making its effective dose unclear and likely underdosed when compared to research using CFUs.
Reliance on Lactobacillus Sporogenes, while effective, lacks the extensive, strain-specific research seen with other common pediatric probiotics for particular conditions.
Is it for you?
