Making healthy, immune-boosting snacks fun and delicious!
‘Snack-ademy’ will teach you how to whip up delicious and nutritious after-school snacks your kids will love … and maybe even want to make themselves.
"As a parent, I know how important it is to help our kids feel their best when they head back to school," comments Sarah Merrygold. "The Fit for School range is such a simple addition to our routine, and knowing it's backed by science gives me real peace of mind. I believe in a healthy diet for my kids, so adding in research-backed probiotics and learning how to create fun, gut-healthy snacks to further support their health sounds like a great idea!"

Frequently Asked Questions
What age are these supplements for?
What age are these supplements for?
Our children's chewable tablets and stick packs are designed for use from four years up and our toddler product can be given to children from one year old.
We also offer specific products for babies.
What is the difference between the chewable tablets and powders?
What is the difference between the chewable tablets and powders?
We have designed two different product types to ensure our products are suitable for all children and their preferences. Most kids love our chewable tablets and particularly our strawberry-flavoured Fit for School chewables.
Some children prefer not to have to 'take' anything specific or separate to their food and we developed our Fit for School stick packs with this in mind. They can be taken directly into the mouth and are delicious taken this way, but are also suitable for adding to cold food or drinks (heat will kill the bacteria).
Are the products suitable for fussy eaters?
Are the products suitable for fussy eaters?
100% yes. Children love our chewable tablets and most happily take them every day (many ask for more than one, but we recommend they only take one a day - although two is perfectly safe!).
Our stick packs and toddler powder are easy to hide in food and drinks so are also an alternative if your child is particularly fussy and doesn't like the chewables.
What makes the ProVen Biotics children's products different to other brands?
What makes the ProVen Biotics children's products different to other brands?
Our children's products contain our own research-backed live bacteria blend known as Lab4, which contains four strains of live bacteria - twoLactobacillusand twoBifidobacteriastrains. These two species of bacteria are the most studied and our four strains have been isolated from humans and extensively researched together as a group in both children and adults.
Can my child take two-a-day or more - is there a maximum limit?
Can my child take two-a-day or more - is there a maximum limit?
We recommend one-a-day of our children's products, as the levels of friendly bacteria in each of our Fit for School products are those that we have researched.
The live bacteria strains in our products are recognised as safe and we have done research with adults at higher doses, so there is no level that is known to be 'too much', however there are safe upper level limits for some of the other ingredients in our products.
