Probiotic Kidstiks Unflavored
American Health
Overview
American Health's Probiotic Kidstiks provide a specific blend of well-researched probiotic strains (Lactobacillus helveticus Rosell-52, Bifidobacterium bifidum Rosell-71, and Bifidobacterium infantis Rosell-33) combined with Fructooligosaccharides (FOS) as a prebiotic. The 5 billion CFU per packet is a reasonable dose for children's probiotics, and the inclusion of FOS supports the viability and growth of the probiotic strains. Each of these patented strains has supporting research for their specific benefits, particularly in immune function and gut health, even though the total amount of each individual strain within the proprietary blend is not fully disclosed. Guaranteed potency through expiration is a significant plus.
