Pro-Ven Probiotics for Children (4-16) Fit for School Gut Health and Immune Support 12.5 Billion CFU Live Bacteria & Vitamin C Supplement 30 Strawberry Chewable Tablets

Brought for my son who after a sickness bug still had diarrhoea a week later, doctor recommended these as he has stomach sensitivity issues due to having a milk allergy so was taking longer to shift it, this worked! Ordered more as I am now going to keep giving him one a day.

I have been giving my son probiotics since birth, and recently switched to this tablet format now that he is four years old. So far, he seems to like the taste and takes them without any fuss, which is a win in itself!The reason I give him probiotics is to support his digestion and keep things regular, although I cannot say for sure if these specifically make a difference, as he has always had them in some form. That said, he seems happy and healthy, and I plan to continue using these long term — they are suitable up to age 16, so it feels like a good option we can stick with.

We’ve been giving these to our 4 year old daughter for 2 months now, prompted by lots of sickness bugs & the usual viruses doing the rounds at school. She loves the taste of them and reminds us after dinner that it’s time for her pill! While it could be a coincidence, she has now received her second 100% attendance certificate from school and while her poor friends have been wiped out by these bugs, she has avoided them apart from one random temperature that only lasted a few hours. They are pricey but from what we’ve seen they certainly seem to be doing something!This is an edit as we’re now in October, we still purchase these monthly and have so far had no days off school. This could obviously be a coincidence but I just wanted to update again.Second edit! Now in May 2019, loads of nasty bugs going around over winter, she’s been having one of these pills a day since starting and ..... not one day needed off sick, honestly not even a peep of needing to even think about it, only 2 problems-it costs a fortune (not as much as having to take time off work looking after a poorly child though) & she comes home with a 100% attendance certificate after every term, going to need a folder to put them in! I know this could be luck, but I’ll keep giving her them just in case!Third edit: February 2020 - Despite a massive sickness bug outbreak at school, with many children and several teachers struck down that lasted around 4 weeks, we still haven’t had one day off sick since the last edit, she’s not even been ill (only a couple of sniffles) this is on subscription now!

My 3 kids have been taking these probiotics for the past 4 months. So far they seem to be doing their job and keeping the pesky bugs and germs away.My kids eat them without too much of a fuss, youngest one often complains they're too chalky and sweet but not horrible.We have tried various chewable probiotics over the years and these seem to be one of the strongest I have found that are for children. Each tablet is bigger than a standard tablet size but this doesn't seem to bother my kids too much.EDIT:16 months on and all 3 kids have had 100% attendance at school! Apart from the odd sniffle they have been really well! Couldn't be more pleased.

Not sure if they do any good but they are overwhelmingly sweet; children don't like them.

Been giving these to my 5 year old son for 10 months following chronic childhood diarrhea that lasted 6-8 weeks and left him totally washed out. May have been a coincidence and the 'bug' had run its course but I believe they definitely aided his recovery. Touch wood he hasn't had diarrhea since and like another reviewer said he received a certificate for 100% attendance for the autumn term! He still gets to odd cold but it doesn't seem to take hold like it would have before taking these. He'd definitely recommend them on here too if he could.

So order these on a regular basis as firmly believe my 3 sons truly benefit from taking them daily and have supported my middle sons lactose intolerance.However disappointed that last three orders I have received have contained some that are not consumable. Please see picture. The darker coloured are sticky and even smell slightly different, the packaging is complete and on no way damaged. My boys refuse to take them understandably!

I waited 18 months before reviewing these, as wanted to get a good idea how effective they are. My 2 girls, age 8 and 11, have taken them religiously for 18 months + and I'm really pleased with them. They taste great, so no fuss taking them. And their overall health, energy levels, wellbeing much improved! Yes they are a bit pricey, but they work, so surely worth it?! I guess you get what you pay for! 100% recommend.
