For babies, drops can be dispensed onto the breast, or added to breast milk or formula, and can also be dispensed on a sterile spoon.

• Shake well for 10 seconds before each use to mix the bacteria culture with the oil.
• To dispense the drops, tilt the bottle gently and give by a spoon.
• Use 5 drops in the morning and 5 drops in the evening for 10 days.

Do not add drops to hot food, hot drinks or feed directly into the mouth from the bottle as this may reduce the quality of the product.

Each recommended daily dose contains a minimum of 400 million live L. reuteri and 10µg of vitamin D, corresponding to 100% of DRI (Daily Reference Intake) in the UK, as recommended by the NHS.

It does not matter if BioGaia’s probiotic products are taken with or without food. What is important is to take it on a daily basis. However, products containing Vitamin D should preferably be taken together with food for better uptake.

Probiotics are defined as ”live microorganisms that, when administered in adequate amounts, confer a health benefit on the host.” (WHO/FAO 2002, Hill C et al. 2014).

Yes. All BioGaia probiotic products, including our baby probiotic drops, have been tested in clinical studies and found to be suitable and effective.

The bacteria are alive but in a dormant state. They become activated and fully metabolically active when they come in contact with the saliva. By the time they reach the stomach they can start to colonise.

BioGaia Pharax sold in the UK can be stored at room temperature.

If room temperature is above 25°C we always recommend storage in the fridge.

BioGaia Pharax should not be stored in the freezer, as this will significantly shorten the shelf-life of the product.
