Sorry to butt in.


I can also recommend BioGaia probiotics. You can get it from Kinder Clinics at $60+GST. May need a consultation first though before you can get it.

Hi tree nymph
Not butting in lah... :lol: Good to share, at least I know what are the other options out there.

tree nymph:

Thanks for the lobang for Back to Basics! I wanted to try culturelle probiotics myself. will check out the place soon.

Hope u can find the place. Very out-of-the-way. Or at least for me, since I live in the East :lol:

My son is taking probiotics on the advice of a naturopath. The brand is American Health from Vitakids, at +$20 a bottle. He takes 2 tablets a day. This is to improve his nutrition, his numerous little allergies, and hopefully increase his appetite (his size is very kacang cos he didn’t sleep or eat much before; I’m forcing him to sleep early these days - lie down and rest also good).


I guess it’s good for adults too, but I didn’t think about it till I read this thread. Will do more research. Tks, Schweppes!

sorry, i’m quite slow with all these supplements. Isn’t probiotics can also be found in yoghurt? Why do we still need give probiotic supplements to our kids if they are taking yoghurt?


And what’s the exact benefit of taking probiotic?

Yes, probiotics are found in yoghurt. But for individuals who need a higher \"dosage\" of probiotics, then one needs to take more than what is found in yoghurt or yakult/vitagen. For info, there are some adults and kids who need a higher concentration of probiotics in order for the benefits to be absorbed into their bodies :lol:

Schweppes... I was recommended the brand OMX by Dr Ohhira (Japan) for probiotics. It is for general health and healthy colon. There's a Spore distributor too. Pls let me know whether it is also good through your readings?

Hi Westmom, sorry, have not heard nor come across the product, OMX by Dr Ohhira (Japan) before, so I can't comment.

To find out more information and the efficacy of a particular brand or health product, I wd go to Amazon.com and do a search, and then read the testimonials and feedback of previous users of the product. If the feedback is more positive (than negative), then it says somethin about that particular brand or health product.

I know this is not the most reliable way, but at least some information is better than none at all.
