Frequently Asked Questions

Why are 15 probiotic strains better than 1–3 strains?

The gut microbiome contains thousands of bacterial species. Research increasingly supports the benefit of probiotic diversity — different strains colonise different areas of the gut, produce different beneficial metabolites, and provide complementary immune and digestive functions. A 15-strain product covers significantly more of the microbiome's functional needs than a 1–3 strain product, which primarily benefits the specific pathways those strains target.

When is probiotic supplementation most important for children?

Key times include: during and after antibiotic treatment (antibiotics deplete the gut microbiome — probiotics help restore it), during illness recovery, when starting childcare or school (exposure to new pathogens), during periods of digestive upset (diarrhoea, constipation, bloating), and as ongoing microbiome maintenance during the critical developmental years (ages 1–12).

How do I give Life-Space Probiotic Powder to my child?

Mix one scoop of powder into a cool or room-temperature drink, yoghurt, or soft food. Do not add to hot food or drink — heat kills live probiotic bacteria. The powder is tasteless and odourless, so it can be hidden in food without your child noticing. Take daily for consistent benefit.

Is Life-Space Children's Probiotic safe to take alongside antibiotics?

Yes. Take the probiotic at least 2 hours apart from the antibiotic dose to prevent the antibiotic from killing the probiotic bacteria immediately. Continue for at least 2–4 weeks after completing the antibiotic course to fully restore the gut microbiome. This is one of the most evidence-supported uses of children's probiotics.

Can children under 3 years use Life-Space Children's Probiotic Powder?

The recommended age for this product is 3 years and over. Life-Space produces separate probiotic formulations specifically designed for infants and babies under 2 years — these contain infant-appropriate strains (particularly Bifidobacterium species dominant in the infant gut). Consult your Plunket nurse or GP for recommendations for children under 3.
