NOW Supplements BerryDophilus Kids Chewables ($15)
Some children have issues taking medication and supplements because of their taste. But these berry-flavored chewables from NOW Supplements Kids may help. These probiotics have an NPA A-Rating Good Manufacturing Process (GMP) certification, signifying that manufacturing processes such as laboratory and testing methods for stability and potency have been tested. The rigorous testing gives a registered dietitian nutritionist confidence.
"I personally love the NOW brand of supplements, as they go through extensive testing of all their products to make sure it's safe for the consumer and ensure what's on the label is in the bottle," says Roxana Ehsani, MS, RD, CSSD, LDN, a registered dietitian nutritionist. "These chewable probiotics are fun for kids to take, providing 2 billion CFUs from a combination of 10 probiotic strains."
One caveat: Lebovitz cautions that this probiotic contains xylitol. This sugar alcohol can cause diarrhea, so speak with a child's pediatrician and monitor their progress should you go this route.
