They're a daily chewable probiotic supplement for children ages 3 and up. Each serving combines 1.5 billion live cultures of Bacillus coagulans with prebiotic fiber to support healthy digestion and immune function.

Not at all. Most probiotic strains are fragile bacteria that get destroyed by stomach acid before they ever reach the intestines. Bacillus coagulans is a spore-forming strain — it forms a protective shell that lets it survive the full journey through the GI tract and arrive alive in the gut where it can actually do its job.

Prebiotic fiber is the food that beneficial gut bacteria need to thrive and multiply. By combining probiotics and prebiotic fiber in one gummy, Nordic Naturals creates a synbiotic effect — meaning the good bacteria arrive intact and have fuel ready to help them flourish.

No. The spore-based Bacillus coagulans formula is shelf-stable, so there's no refrigeration required. These are easy to pack in a school bag, take on trips, or keep in a cabinet like any other supplement.

Right before a meal — ideally breakfast — gives the probiotics the best environment to survive and establish in the gut. Age 3 takes one gummy daily; ages 4 and up take two gummies daily.
