Yes a toddler or kid may take a prebiotic if they are already taking a probiotic. Always consult your pediatrician if you have questions.
When is the best time to take prebiotics?
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.
