How can you tell which BioGaia product line is right for a child—Protectis, Gastrus, Prodentis, or another one?

How to understand which BioGaia product line is suitable for a child
Below are practical and up-to-date guidelines that have already helped other users:

BioGaia Protectis

The most universal and safest option for children from birth.

Used for colic, bloating, stool irregularities, and recovery after antibiotics.

Most commonly recommended by pediatricians for infants.

BioGaia Gastrus

Contains a combination of two bacterial strains.

Intended mainly for adults and adolescents.

Not suitable for newborns or young children due to its different therapeutic focus.

BioGaia Prodentis

Available in chewable tablet form and used for dental and gum health.

Suitable for older children who can safely chew or dissolve tablets.

Not used for colic and not intended for infants.

Other options

Additional formulas may sometimes be available on the market, but for newborns, Protectis drops remain the standard choice.

How to choose correctly

Consider the child’s age.

Identify the specific issue: colic, digestion/stool problems, immune support, or oral care.

Always check the instructions on the packaging, especially age restrictions.

If you were sold an unsuitable BioGaia product line or the differences were not explained to you, be sure to share the issue on Xolvie to warn other parents and seek a fair resolution.
