Gut health supplements are not intended to prevent, treat or diagnose any medical conditions. If taking probiotic supplements for gut health, note that these should not be used as a substitute for a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. If you are taking any medications or have a serious medical condition, consult a doctor before use. Optibac supplements will not cause dependency and may be used on an ongoing basis.

Babies & Children can be given to children, from birth to 12 year old with the following recommendations:

• Give 1 sachet daily.
• If desired or professionally directed, can be increased to 2 sachets a day

Best taken with a meal, preferably with breakfast

Simply mix with your child's favourite cool, non-acidic foods or drinks – try sprinkling the powder over cereal, mixing it with yogurt, or dissolve in water or milk.

Can be taken with formula milk - simply add to the bottle once it has cooled down to room temperature (as heat reduces the viability of natural bacteria).

For breastfed babies, powder can be applied to nipple or clean finger for baby to suckle.
