Customer Questions
All questions answered by Kerry Beeson BSc (Nut. Med.) Nutritional Therapist.
Can you give a child too many friendly bacteria?
Live cultures are very safe for children1,2 and it's not thought to be possible to ‘overdose’ on them, so don’t worry about giving your child too many. However, there’s no reason to use more than they need and in general, it is best to give them the recommended dosage. Optibac Babies & Children provides the recommended daily dose of 3 billion live cultures per sachet.
Is Optibac Babies & Children a vegetarian supplement?
Yes, Optibac Babies & Children is vegetarian. There is no dairy present at any stage of the manufacturing, the probiotic strains are vegan but the added Vitamin D3 is vegetarian. It is also gluten-free.
