Kids Probiotic Gummies Are Having A Moment: Here Are The Things You Need To Know

Probiotic gummies are having a moment. It’s easy to see why. If you’ve ever attempted to get your picky eater to dig into a spinach salad, you know how hard it is to follow the “whole foods first” rule. In a perfect world, we’d all have a well-balanced diet of fresh vegetables, fruits, lean proteins, healthy fats, adequate sleep and appropriate screen time to help our digestive system do its thing. But most of us don’t live in that world.

When our kids don’t get an optimally balanced diet, good bacteria in their digestive systems may be struggling with a diet of processed foods (where good bacteria can’t thrive). Just like ours, their gut health depends on plenty of good bacteria.

The more we learn about the gut microbiome, the more we recognize its importance in so many aspects of our health. Probiotic gummies for kids provide an easy solution to nurture your kid’s microbiome. But are these fun answers to our supplement dilemmas too good to be true?

The short answer is no. They actually work. But before you toss that bottle in your cart, read this.

Probiotic Gummies Are Super Convenient

Most of us have quite enough challenges with our kids, thankyouverymuch. If there’s something that produces the same outcome but is easier? Yes. Sign us UP. Probiotic

gummies are a super convenient and more fun way to take a daily supplement.

Fun doesn’t need to mean sugary. It’s possible to find probiotic gummies that taste great and are less than 1g of sugar per serving. For example, Align Kids Probiotics, which support a healthy digestive system,* are made with all natural flavors and colors, and contain less than 1g of sugar per serving (1 daily gummy).

So there’s a good chance your kid will not only take them, but will take them easily — maybe even joyfully? — and that’s one thing you can check off your to-do list every day.

But, First, Make Sure To Read The Label

Before you snag any brightly colored bottle of probiotic gummies off the shelf, take a look at what’s in it. Because the truth is that some are full of sugar. Think about the outcome you’re looking for and read labels carefully. Take gut health, for example.

When you read the labels, you’ll see that Align Kids Gummies are the clear choice for children’s healthy tummies. Align is the #1 doctor-recommended probiotic brand‡. And with good reason. Their gummies support your child’s digestive health in two ways: they contain a prebiotic that helps nourish the good bacteria already in your gut and also adds more good bacteria (the probiotic, Bacillus Coagulans Lactospore®). Plus with less than 1g of sugar per serving, they’re great tasting.

We’re all doing our best to make sure our kids eat a balanced diet. But kids are funny. And life is even funnier. Even when they’re eating everything we put on their plates, things happen. A fussy eater phase, changes in routine or stress can all disrupt your child’s natural balance of good bacteria. Align Kids Gummies give your child’s health the supportive boost it needs.* Do your research, talk with your healthcare provider and see if probiotic gummies are the answer for your family.
