bacteria in the gut.
Both prebiotics and probiotics are important for human health. Probiotics are the beneficial bacteria, and prebiotics are food for these beneficial bacteria.

Fructooligosaccharide from chicory root inulin.

As a prebiotic supplement for toddlers ages 1yr to 3yrs, we recommend one (1) packet daily. For kids ages 4yrs and up, we recommend up to two (2) packets daily given separately. During the introductory period, some toddlers and kids may experience small amounts of gas or bloating. We recommend starting with half a packet and gradually reaching the recommended amount over several days.
It is important to keep well hydrated when taking Begin Growing up Prebiotics.
Yes a toddler or kid may take a prebiotic if they are already taking a probiotic. Always consult your pediatrician if you have questions.
Prebiotics can be taken at any time! We recommend forming a daily routine to help you remember to incorporate prebiotics into your toddler or kids’ day.

So why does our product say that it contains milk? During our prebiotic fermentation process lactose is a starting ingredient, once fermentation is complete there is a trace amount of lactose left over that is medically considered "vanishingly small". To put this in perspective, an 8oz cup of milk contains 12 grams of lactose, our product contains 4 milligrams, that is 0.3%. That is less than half of a percent of the amount found in a cup of milk.
