My daughter is super picky, it’s hard to get her to take chewable supplements of any kind unless they have the right texture and taste. If she doesn’t like the taste you can’t even bribe her to eat something. While she says she doesn’t love the taste of these chewables she says they’re okay, they’re not candy but she has no problem eating the. So of course she’s not going to say she loves them as well it is a supplement not a treat, it is a big deal that she will chew it and eat it though, this is high praise from a picky eater.
This makes things easier for me as I used to have to hide probiotics in her smoothies and other food in order to give her a decent amount of probiotics daily, now I don’t have to hide anything, yay!
So who is Dr. Perlmutter?
David Perlmutter, M.D., F.A.C.N.

All I know is my daughter rarely gets sick since we paid more attention to her nutrition for which probiotics plays a big part! Garden of Life gets a two thumbs on this probiotic kids chewable for oh so many reasons, happy mom, happy and healthy kid 🙂

christina rogers says
November 2, 2015 at 6:45 PMthis is absolutely amazing. My son is a diabetic, celiacs and lactose intolerant. This is perfect for my children. @christi40955030
Rhonda W G. says
November 2, 2015 at 6:44 PMI think most children would take this without a fuss due to it`s flavor and being a chew. I like that they have the added C&D vitamins too…
lisa says
November 2, 2015 at 9:03 AMI never thought that children would need probiotics. It does make sense though. Most kids are picky eaters.
Amanda Alvarado says
November 1, 2015 at 8:25 PMI love that these also have Vitamin C & D!
Karine says
November 1, 2015 at 1:43 PMThose are nice for kids – they look yummy and full of good stuff.
Denise C says
November 1, 2015 at 1:26 PMJust curious, are they different from adult probiotics in any medical kind of way? Meaning, do they have different or additional ingredients because kids may need different kind of probiotics. I’m just wondering because I’m jealous, I’d like a berry cherry probiotic!
jennifer peters says
November 1, 2015 at 1:21 PMI didnt know they made probotics for kids. But my son might need them. Anything that strengthens his immune system is great
Dana A. says
November 1, 2015 at 11:32 AMI like the idea of a chewable probiotic for kids instead of the gummy. It’s hard to teach children that vitamins and medicines are NOT candy when manufacturers insist on making it both taste and look like it! I also like the fact that these are natural, organic, with no added sugars and unnecessary fillers, etc. Sounds like a good product overall, I’d like to try them.
Holly Thomas says
November 1, 2015 at 10:55 AMI didn’t know that probiotics were available for kids.
DebP says
November 1, 2015 at 7:20 AMIt’s best to keep antibiotics to a minimum.
Rhea Chladek says
November 3, 2015 at 9:22 PMThese are probiotics! They are the good bacteria that the body needs…
Sarah Kurtz says
November 1, 2015 at 6:54 AMThis sounds awesome. My 4yr old son could definitely use this.
Ina Fowler says
November 1, 2015 at 6:35 AMI want the kids version Yumm !!
Laurie P says
November 1, 2015 at 5:50 AMA new brand for me…..definitely curious about their products!
Nena Sinclair says
November 1, 2015 at 1:47 AMThese sound like great high quality products, I’d love to get these for my grandchildren!
Jeanne says
October 31, 2015 at 11:52 PMI’ll do anything nutritionally beneficial for the kids! Building good values is most important for future life requirements! Train them now… Give them a healthy outlook/regiment for a smooth, physically and emotional well being.
Melissa K says
October 31, 2015 at 10:21 PMI had no idea there were chewable probiotics for kids! This is great. I’m pretty adamant about everyone in the household taking a probiotic supplement. This brand seems really good!
Sophia,M.,McConnery says
October 31, 2015 at 9:21 PMIt is a good thing to use these even in children.Seems the bacteria (good) in our guts is being destroyed by antibiotics!
Garilyn says
October 31, 2015 at 8:21 PMThese would be great for my daughter. She has stomach issues off and on, and I think having a consistent probiotic such as this would be very beneficial for her.
Sue Hull says
October 31, 2015 at 7:21 PMIve heard of Garden of Life. Ive never bought any of their products. These would be good for my nieces. My daughter used to be picky when it came to taking vitamins when she was little. To this day she wont take anything if it tastes chalky. Shes 30. Lol!
Trisha says
October 31, 2015 at 4:41 PMI love Garden of Life products. They don’t use unnecessary fillers.
Maryann D. says
October 31, 2015 at 11:28 AMI know Garden of Life makes terrific products. I would like to try this probiotic myself since I often do not like to swallow pills.
SueSueper says
October 31, 2015 at 4:25 AMThe doctors have told us we don’t ever get enough vitamin D so this would be a good supplement to take.
Also, vitamin C is something I always believe in taking to help combat colds.
lei says
October 30, 2015 at 11:14 PMit looks so natural, and so yummy. I want to eat these too!
Barrie says
October 30, 2015 at 7:18 PMI love that these have no sweeteners. As an adult, I’ve taken proboticss for years and am glad to see a good brand for kids!
JLin says
October 30, 2015 at 6:50 PMgreat for my kids
