Garden of Life Dr. Formulated Probiotics Organic Kids+ Plus Vitamin C & D, Strawberry Banana, Gluten Dairy & Soy Free Immune & Digestive Health Supplement, No Added Sugar, 30 Chewables (Shelf Stable)

Noticeably strengthens the gut, but does not arrive cold packed as advertised.

I've bought several boxes of these this winter and they have NEVER arrived cold packed AS ADVERTISED (see photo of shipping box). I'm concerned about ordering them this spring/summer because I want them to arrive alive. The cold product has worked great, my daughter's stomach issues have mostly disappeared. She saw some good results after the first month. She used to get a cold/virus every month and have random loose stools after eating, but since her gut has been strengthened she hardly gets sick now and rarely has loose stools. I'm not sure I will order them in the warmer weather since they don't arrive cold as advertised. (They would get 5 stars if they arrived cold packed as promised.

Kids loved the taste and helped heal 8yo's gut in distress

My 8yo son was having lots of tummy troubles- (we are currently having him tested for celiac disease and others) but his stomach was bloating and his gut was in distress. After changing our eating habits to more ancient grains, veggies and fruit- weeks later he was still bloating out. I looked into probiotics and found this one, which happened to be organic. After just a few days he was having normal stools, and after a week his stomach wasn't bloating out. He loves the taste and has been taking them everyday for about 3 months. We've discovered that on days where he eats more carbs (pizza bday parties, etc) we have him take two- (morning & afternoon) and no more bloating! I can't say enough good things about this probiotic, it's truly helped our son's gut recover and become healthy and it's not a fight to get him to eat it

Sick way less

This product has been great for my 5 year old. I was looking for a good chewable probiotic that wasn't a vitamin. I like that this only has vitamin C and D added. It has really helped keep my child heathly this year. He has food sensitivities and seasonal environmental allergies and is often sick with runny nose, sneezing that becomes a cough and often has tummy upsets. Since taking this his gut health has improved and was only sick 2 times this year which was a huge improvement. Bad flu this year and he didn't get it. Starting kindergarten kids are often sick a lot and as we watched others in his class sick often he wasn't. I really feel this product is what helped. He also likes the taste ðŸ'ðŸ¼ðŸ'ðŸ¼ this also is not the first probiotic we have tired for him

Good for Tummy, Bad for Taste

While this is an awesome product for kids that have tummy problems, whether its from allergies or colds, this fixes it quick within a few hours. That alone could get a 5 star rating as its the best for bad tummies that my children have tried....it just cannot get 5 stars from me as it is a battle to get them to take it in the first place lol. 11, 6, and twins that are 4 and they all hate it. They chew it really fast and have to chase it with some juice to get it down

Absolutely useless. All bacteria are dead!

Nice flavored, tasty, expensive CANDY! It's useless as probiotic because it's not alive! Simple experiment showing on my video. I've put one tablet of this "organic probiotic " in some amount of milk and in another mug is milk with 1/2 tsp of regular yogurt from store. I left all that overnight in room temperature. As you can see regular yogurt turned milk in some liquid yogurt like substance, but our "5 billion organic probiotic " from Dr.Formulated did absolutely nothing to this milk. All bacteria are dead, unfortunately ((( I'll better look for something else

Better and cheaper than Culturelle.

This is amazing, as all Garden of life stuff is. My daughters always had tummy and intestinal problems since birth. Like intestinal bleeding bad. She gets thrown out of wack easily. She's 3. Her dr always recommends Culturelle, which never really seems to do much, even with her on it for months. You gotta remember drs get hit up by pharma reps weekly pushing their product, and no doubt Culturelle is one of them. And it's more expensive than this! So, she was on the age appropriate Culturelle for over 6 months. NO change in her, stomach discomfort the first month and then nothing. I finally got so frustrated I did what I should have done from the beginning. I bought a brand I KNOW would work, and like magic, a couple weeks in, and NO discomfort later…my little girl feels a million times better. She's regular on her own, no tummy aches, nothing. She's healthy and healing and I kick myself for not buying this earlier when I knew better. I hope this helps

Taste Bad

I like that they are organic and contain Vitamin C as well. My kids hate the taste, but eat them with a meal now so they can wash the taste away. Labdoor . com states they really only have 3.1 Billion CFUs, (which is completely fine for my kids) so if you are truly looking for something with 5 billion I would suggest trying another product

Feel the love.

I'm 61years old. I've been taking probiotic supplements since I was 17. They've come a long way with probiotic formulas since then. I now use the Garden of Life 50 and Wiser version. It makes a difference. I buy these children's formula once a month for my 10 year old grandson. He's been sick less frequently as a result. He does not mind the taste. Good product. Giving your kids these everyday is the best thing you can do for them

Great taste for a picky kid

My daughter was having a lot of stomach issues. I did a lot of research and tried other products. These are great. She is on her 4th bottle
