Florastor Kids Review
Quick Take
Florastor is unique: it contains Saccharomyces boulardii, a probiotic YEAST rather than bacteria. This matters because yeast is naturally antibiotic-resistant, meaning you can take Florastor during antibiotic treatment without the antibiotic killing the probiotic. For kids on frequent antibiotics, this is essential.

Clean Formula: No artificial colors or preservatives. Lactose-free, gluten-free.

Efficacy Analysis (9.5/10)
250mg (5 billion cells) S. boulardii:
- Can be taken with antibiotics
- Supports digestive balance
