Here is a little description of our different Probiotic formulas to help you choose the right one for you and your family!
Smidge® Infant Probiotic is recommended for anyone under the age of 2. However, because it's such a gentle formula, it is also ideal for very sensitive individuals of all ages, or those taking probiotics for the first time. It is our least potent formula.
Smidge® Sensitive Probiotic is best for ages 3 and over, or children between the ages of 2 and 3 who have already used the Infant formula. It contains one extra strain (L. plantarum) and is twice the potency of our Infant Probiotic.
Smidge® Sensitive Probiotic is a powerful probiotic that does not require large doses. However, it is suited for sensitive individuals who may have reacted to certain strains of bacteria found in other probiotic formulas. This product is also available in capsules.
Smidge® Optimal Probiotic is a gentle, thoughtfully formulated probiotic that’s appropriate for various ages and stages, whether you’ve taken probiotics in the past or are new to this integral part of your wellness regimen:
- Men and women: Teens through the golden years
- Mamas: Pregnant and nursing
- Healthy kiddos: Ages 6 to 12
Our Smidge® Yeastbiotic capsules feature the friendly yeast Saccharomyces boulardii, which can gently crowd out pathogenic yeast.* S. boulardii is clinically proven to support people during antibiotic treatment, especially with candida, diarrhea and C. diff, as guided by a healthcare practitioner.* And you don’t have to worry about it affecting your antibiotics. Most people use this one on a short-term basis.
We also have a Probiotic Quiz available to help you narrow down the best Probiotic for you and your family! You can find this quiz here: https://www.getsmidge.com/pages/quiz
The age to progress from one formula to another for every person varies. Since everyone is unique and responds differently to different formulas, it's a good idea to take into account the individual's health history, diet, metabolism, and recommendations by a practitioner - not just the age. As always, be sure to go low and slow when introducing a new supplement to your regimen.
