PDS-08® Pediatric Daily Synbiotic

How should a child take PDS-08®?

Pick a time of day to start PDS-08® with your child—you know your child’s routine best. It may be easiest to coincide with a mealtime (and it’s optimal to consume PDS-08® with food). Take 1 sachet from your BacTrac™ container and pour it into a cold or room-temperature food or drink (Not hot, please.) Mix well. Stir into food until fully mixed. If stirring into a drink, shake thoroughly in a closed bottle. Bacteria are fragile, so please no heat, blenders, or food processors, as these can impact the viability of the probiotics. Enjoy within 30 minutes. Yes, this means all of it! As the probiotics and prebiotics are exposed to moisture, they activate and start to interact with one another. If left to sit for too long, this could lead to digestive discomfort after consumption. Align the top of your BacTrac™ container with the day that you are starting. PDS-08® doesn't require refrigeration, so feel free to store it on your countertop. Repeat and track so you never miss a day.

When will they feel something?

Every individual’s body is different, and the benefits one may “feel” (e.g. ease of bloating or easy, frequent poops) are often just the most visceral ones. One may feel results in as little as 24—48 hours due to localized digestive support, though other longer-term benefits for gut-immune function or respiratory health may take longer, or may not be tangibly noticeable, which is normal. As long as daily intake is continued, PDS-08® is doing the work inside to program, sustain, and enhance your child’s health.

Is it safe?

PDS-08® is generally safe to take and there are no known contraindications to use. Our probiotic strains have GRAS and/or QPS status, which designates them as safe for consumption by the United States and European Union, respectively. That said, we would also suggest consulting with a physician or pediatrician before adding any new product to a child’s regimen.

Can they take this with other medications?

There are no known contraindications with PDS-08® Pediatric Daily Synbiotic and medications, therefore PDS-08® would be generally safe to take alongside any prescription or over-the-counter medications. However, we always recommend consulting with your doctor or family physician so they may advise with the complete knowledge of your child's health history.

Is PDS-08® compatible with my child’s diet or dietary restrictions?
